Here is where it gets marginally interesting. Everything else about the 4S, with its new battery, was totally compromised and there was nothing I could do to get anything to show up on the display. Jaw dropping concept, that, and something only surpassed by the fact that when iPhoto opened up it located my photos and allowed me to download what I had neglected to back up. Six hours later I connected the iPhone to my computer and, except for the lack of ANYthing on the display, the computer treated this tortured object as if it was a normal, working iPhone. After the 4S was buttoned back up (with those Philips head screws) I plugged it into a charger, just because. Six hours later I dried it off and sealed it into a large jar with rice.Īfter six days of letting the rice work it's magic I used iFixit's "Liberation Kit" to replace my iPhone's trashed battery with one from iFixit. It took me almost a half hour to fish it out, and by that time it had begun its "flashlight death spiral." Sad to see, sadder still when I thought about how long ago it was that I backed up those photos… All I could think to do was throw it, still glowing and un-turn-offable, into fresh water. Steve's original problem mirrors my recent experience with an iPhone 4S that "took a look" in a five foot deep salt water filter. IFixit's "Accepted Answer" by pollytintop is right on target!
