A few days ago I spilled some liquid into the speaker of my iPhone 4. Since then I have been unable to get people able to hear me during phone calls. However during speaker phone I can get people to hear me. I'm guessing I killed something from the spill. Any ideas what is going and if I can have someone fix this?
Got a tip for us?

Speak up, son! Seriously, though - water damage my kill you in this case. From the experiences I've heard, Apple isn't very lenient when the moisture indicator in the phone indicates water damage. Take it in and see what happens.
If you're mechanically inclined, you may be able to disassembe the phone and put it in uncooked rice to absorb the moisture - see if that works.
Maybe - but it doesn't hurt to take it to Apple and see what they can do. If they won't replace it, you're no worse off than you are now. If they will - hey! you just caught yourself a break!
I think I am going to go to the Apple store today to get this checked. Yet I found something out today concerning this issue.
The liquid I spilled into the mic area was from a milkshake that got into that area I think. I was blowing on it a lot and I made a phone call. She was able to hear me, but it was low/muffled. You can also hear me blowing into it. I'm thinking the inside part of the mic is gunked up from the shake. The outside is totally clean.
Is it possible to clean the internal part of the mic?
