In January i managed to flood my iPhone (1st Gen, 8GB) while skiing. It was in a bag my brother was carrying which also had a bottle of water in it - stupid idea in hesnieight! Initially the phone did nothing and was absolutely soaking, so i dried it off to the best of my ability, put it in my pocket and skied on! When i got back to the flat i left it on a radiator to dry out and put it on charge over night. The following morning it turned on, could see the apple logo but you could also see a lot of water behind the screen. It then all went blank. So i left it on the radiator and tried it the following morning - nothing. Plugged it into my MacBook Pro and iTunes said it was in recovery mode so i tried restoring the firmware all went well but still said it was in recovery. I tried this a few more times over the next couple of days but with no luck so i gave up and borrowed a friends Sony Erricson POS to last me until apple release another one. Now with about a month left to wait (so 'they' think) i just cant wait any longer so i charged it up over night again and got a message saying "Please insert your sim or enter your sim pin" so i did. then got the same message again. Can't enter the sim pin as the phone's screen is blank.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I kind of know that if i got the iPhone working it would need a new battery which i could do. Anything else?
Edit: i should mention i have taken the back off and everything seemed dry inside so i think i have got all the water out.
Many Thanks
