[KAKA2081]

Hello guys , yesterday while i was in the pool , some water entered my phone screen and it was only some water and the screen got some water down and the water damaged sensor is half red and half white and the touch screen is not functioning well , yesterday i searched google and found the rice method , is it worth a try ? it will fix my phone and the screen will function well again ?

Btw dont say "Just buy an iphone 4 or get another phone" im not a rich guy and im only 14 years old dont really have much money for a new phone

Did you turn the phone off as soon as it got wet? Any damage that is going to done, will be done by now if not.

Yes i did , but the phone is working well , everything is working well even the home button the only wet part on the phone is where the brightness sensors ( 3 circles near the Speaker) and the screen isnt functioning well its going crazy

So what shall i do to get it fixed :/


EDIT : No , i only opened it after i got home and charged it

You should have taken it completely apart and put all of the components in plastic bags filled with rice. I wouldn't be surprised if something has short circuited inside the phone.

I guess it looks like you are going to have to find the parts here http://www.ifixit.com/iPhone-Parts and fix it yourself.

Which part exactly ?

I would start with this one, however it may not still work. The damage could be in any number of places.
