Wet iPhone - An unusual problem

[Pixellated]

Earlier today, my iPhone got wet. I knew what to do - Switch off, put in rice etc...

I tried to switch it off, it didn't - straight from spinning cog to apple logo and back on again. Everything else works perfectly - the only other problem was it thought it had headphones plugged in, but then I dried it with a hairdryer and it was fine.

It will still not switch off, unless it is connected to the charger and charging (v. strange)


EDIT: If I switch it off while plugged in, then unplug it, it will switch on straight away.
Thanks

If no one else comes up with something better you could run the battery down by streaming nexflix or something. In a couple hours the batter be dead, possibly before an answer is posted.

Do you have APpleCare+? Or Squaretrade?

Neither

If it does not work after drying out, take it to a Apple store. Some people have reported that they have had success getting phone fixed regardless. Others have said they have gotten replacements for $199. Worth a shot. Then buy AppleCare

Applecare doesn't cover a water damaged phone anyway. The warranty is void. Get the $199 Apple replacement.
