Okay, I set my iPhone down while I went to go take a shower, and when I returned the screen was black and it wouldn't turn on. I plugged it into my pc and windows did not recognize it... Still black. So I thought maybe the cord isn't working, so I got my wall charger and plug my iPod it, sure enough it worked. So I put my iPhone in the wall plug and it didn't turn on!!! It was like at 40% when I took a shower and I have no clue what happened! I need my phone by tomorrow please help me, I will love you for life!
Got a tip for us?

so was the phone turned on, but just not responding or was it actually turned off? i would try a hard reset to see if that helps first, then if not, followed by a restore. your battery calibration may be messed up.
Any Smartphone, if subject to steam from the shower, can fail.
It doesn't have to come in contact with water. Steam also causes the sensor tape to discolor just like it was submerged in water.
Best practice is keep a phone out of the bathroom. I'd rather be safe than sorry.

i read the initial post as he left the phone out of the bathroom and then came back to it. his wording made it sound like it wasnt in the bathroom with him hence the "I went to go take a shower, and when I returned". so i dont think the steam triggered a short in this case.
Never take a gadget in the bathroom with you when you're showering, my iPod touch 1st gen learned that the hard way D:
