Photos of my wet iPhone working again after dismantling it

February 20th, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

I attended my daughter’s friend’s birthday party last weekend and guess what? I fell in the pool, all dressed up, with (among others) an iPhone in my pocket. Needless to say that the pretty Apple device turned into a wet brick which would not even switch on.

I initially decided that rather than throwing it away, I would at least dismantle it (for the geeky joy procured by looking into its guts) and share that joy by uploading a few pictures on this blog.

To my biggest surprise, the iPhone started working again after reassembling it !! Read more for more pictures !!

(update) By the way, this is the red contact indicator that would tell Apple customer service that my phone fell in the water !!
