Just Jack Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 One option is put it in a ziploc bag with some white rice for several hours. But since you already tried to use it, it may be too late... http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/how-to/tips/4269047
Corp000085 Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 iFixit is a great website for mac repairs. Check out this link. http://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/61055/My+iPhone+got+wet! In summary, if you want to tackle the problem yourself, take it apart, and start with changing the battery. Good luck!
Captain Caveman Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Depending on your track record with Apple products, they may replace it for you for no charge. I've had desktops, laptops, and I was on my second iPhone last year when I dropped it and killed it. I brought it into a Apple store, they originally told me it would be about 200$ to fix the screen, I didn't complain since it was obviously my fault. After going back for the new one the service guy told me it was no charge.
NoSaint Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 with the construction of the iphone - the big swim is especially deadly. odds are you are replacing it, and as its only 6 months, theres a good chance you wont see that $200 price point. you might get lucky though, and have a generous or kind person at the store pull some strings.... but id bank on a hefty bill.

Don't let the Damp Rid tough the phone though. PTR
