I dropped my phone in the toilet about a week ago and immediately after I headed to the mac rumours forums to fix it. I dried it on low heat with a hair dryer for 20 minutes, but didn't have any rice so had to leave it over night with nothing. I got rice in the morning and immediately stuck it in there and left it for 3 days (even changing the rice every day!)
WHen I checked after the 3 days it was still unresponsive. I tried turning it on and rebooting it but still nothing. So I put it back in a bag of rice and left it in there for another 3 days.
I tried again this morning to see if it worked but still nothing.
I plugged it into my computer and it made the charging sound and starting syncing with my itunes. So my itunes knows it's there; I backed it up (twice to be sure) and then left it for a while. Then I tried turning it on, but still nothing. I read somewhere to restore it, so I did that, but still nothing. And now itunes says "The SIM card inserted into this iPhone is PIN locked. PLease enter the PIN code of your SIM card and connect your iPhone to iTunes again.
The only thing is, the screen is completely unresponsive. It's black (not even just faded) and nothing comes up when I restart or anything.
Is there any hope for me and my beloved iPhone???
