Washed My iPhone Sync & Charge Cable!!

I just got my cable out of the wash - 20mins - having left it in my trouser pocket - doh!

Anyone with experience of this? Will it be ok? I dont want to use it if there is a risk that my iPhone will get damaged with the old electricity running through it.....

Im leaving it near the radiator for the next day or two and after that ill make a decision... i could take it to the apple store and ask them to check it with 'test' phone or something...

If anyone has any advice - much appreciated.

 

Im going to try it in a few days... maybe end of next week

In the mean time i have a cable for a 3g (bros, mines 2g) Im pretty sure they are all interchangeable / universal fits - but can someone confirm?......

thanks

 

I wouldnt do that

And they are different anyway - the bit that connects with iphone is fat/deeper and has pads each side that are slightly squeezable (help unhook from iphone). Mine is thin.

 

Thanks. Been charging for last 45 mins - i was 99% sure it was the same. Ill report back in a few days after i try the newly washed cable!

 

Im borrowing a cable so there is no rush for me to use the washed cable. Its sitting on the floor under the radiator so itll get a steady drying for a good week.

Im probably going to use it next week sometime. Ill use a blow dryer from a distance for a few minutes nearer the time for a final drying - but with the way the cable is built i doubt it is or was saturated with water anyway.....

Its a 2yr old 2G iphone so there is no warranty (still looks brand new & better than the 3G with its plastic back!!!! ).

I have thought about buying a cable to be super safe, as spending between 5-10 pounds is affordable where as £300+ for a new iphone isnt.

 

I started using the washed cable today and its fine as far as i can tell - it syncs and it charges...... got apple store to try it and it worked there first...

 

Nah, it always seems to miss a bit somewhere in my experience.... But then i dont usually use my sync cable to eat food with
