IPhone 6 s water damage, the phone turns on, is the battery just fried?

My phone got wet almost a hot tub... was not at all.  Tekdry working on it, so its dry and did not work during a day.  Now its finally works when it is plugged in, but used to hold a charge and seems to be stuck in recovery mode.  IM more than sure that it must just be the battery.  In any case, she takes in the Genius bar, unfriendly guy told me they would not replace battery water damage indicators show?  Why wouldn't they just allow me to pay for a replacement of the battery?  I know it may or may not work and of course my phone is out of warranty damage, if Im not looking to blame future maybe problems on Apple.  Just shocked I couldn't give them $90 to a new phone?  Is this a common practice?  They said that they would only replace whole phone for $299... Please help or give advice, thank you!

Yes, it's standard. Your only option with Apple will be to pay for a full out-of-warranty replacement device.  The costs for this in the USA are $ 299 for which you get a refurbished device to factory OEM with a 90 day warranty.

  • IPhone 6 s water damaged more

    I recently damaged my iPhone more 6s due to water damage and I just got my replacement phone - another iPhone 6 s more.  However, I have to return my iPhone damaged by water, but it ends destroyed, it does not, etc. Instructions ask that I erase all the contents of my previous phone before returning, but how do I do that if I can't turn it on. I did remove my old SIM card and put it in my new iPhone 6 s more, is that enough?  I already located towards the top/restored my iPhone more than 6 s and I removed my old iPhone 6s than "find my iPhone". Disconnected from 'Find my iPhone' there is a selection that says once the phone is connected to the internet it would erase content and I chose, in the hope that it would remove any remaining info I have on the phone after removing the SIM card, if the phone is never repaired and returned to new. Thank you for your help.

    As long as you remove the device to locate my iPhone, you did what is necessary.  If Apple has problems, they will contact you.

  • Is it normal that my iPhone 6 sec to drain the battery overnight so that wifi and cellular data are turned off?

  • iPhone 5 s night draining the battery increases. Likely culprits?

    I'm used to seeing the battery capacity to fall to 90% during the night (do not); but in the last few nights, she fell to 70 percent and night last at 50%. What are the likely culprits, or is there an Apple technical letter dealing with the battery by various applications or settings? I don't think I've changed settings or added all the apps.

    In the morning go to settings/battery and see what applications used the most energy.

    But the best solution is to leave the phone plugged in all night. In this way any exchange of background applications will go over WiFi instead of cellular data, and you can activate the automatic backups iCloud or iTunes.

  • I often use my iPad when it is plugged in, after full load. Can thus damage the battery?

    Leaving the iPad on the charger when it is fully recharged bypass the battery and that the iPad runs on an external source as most of the laptop? Or is the battery constantly being drained and charged at the same time?

    I often play with my iPad 2 plugged Air (often after full load because I think the iPad is directly using the external power source) and I don't know if that night to the iPad or not.

    No, there is no harm in using the iPad during the charge or leave fixed after the battery has reached 100%.

  • (Redirected) Alienware Aurora R3 / water damage / the amount of memory has changed... Problem

    Hi all

    Last night, I spilled water on top of my alienware desktop computer. I quickly shutdown, unplugged and held head down for awhile. First time I turned it back on, it gave me the "amount of memory has changed, but none has been added" problem. I went through system troubleshoot (F5 I think) and had everything to the point where it asks if you want to continue for 30 minutes. I skipped that and restarted. Second time I turned on my computer, it loaded all regularly, logged into my account, desktop screen with files, etc. Then he went straight to the screen of closing and began to beep, in the explosion of two. Whenever I try to start, stuck to the error page "the amount of memory" with two beeps.

    I tried a few searches and it seems it could be a motherboard problem, I'm not sure. I would like to email technical support, but it seems impossible without active coverage? (Mine is is no longer active).

    My question is, is it sounds like a problem of motherboard and if so, how can I replace it in my office? Where to get the part, etc.

    Thank you for your useful answers.

  • IPhone 5 loading the battery/troubleshooting

    Hi there Apple community, I'm looking for some advice.

    I have an original model of the iphone 5 A1429 recently upgraded to ios 9.1.  I've updated because I kept receives a dialog box "this device is not recognized or supported", even when there is nothing plugged.  This meant that it would stop my camera to load, so drain my battery and disrupt my routine care.  I tried all the usual trouble shooting solutions, that is, cleaned the connector of lightning of lint, checked for cowards and then put pins to upgrade to ios 9.1.  I always dialog box "unrecognized device" all the time, but it does not seem to affect perception.

    I ran like that for about a month now, but this week my phone would not last without being trendy.  I decided to update to ios 9.2 to see if this can help, once the phone rebooted he wore the Red of the battery and the receiver charge icon but does not turn, and now it is completely dead.  I am sure that this related material, so my question is; can anyone think of a way to diagnose reliably if the problem is in the battery or the connector of the lightning.  I managed to read data from the phone and synced with my macbook before update and I saw the icon to load on the phone.  The battery must be older than two years so is probably on its way out anyway, but the thing that bothers me is I get nothing when the connection to the electric network.  Wouldn't I see at least receive some sort of charge?  Alternatively, once a battery dies he will not receive a charge, even when it is connected to the power grid?  I look forward to the advice or suggestions of the apple community hive mind has for me... and...

    Thank you very much

    In all cases, get the phone checked by Apple or an Apple authorized Service provider near your place. That would be the fastest way to get your phone to life again.

  • HP DV6-6B25TX turn off after 10 to 15 seconds, regardless of the power of the battery or power supply

    Hello

    MY DV6-6B25TX is cutting off after 10-15 seconds, regardless of the battery power or AC power.

    Here's the complete scenario of what happened in recent weeks:--

    Two weeks back I was using the laptop with the power adapter is plugged in for charging, the battery got charged up to 99% then it stopped charging and display the battery icon text, "plugged in, not charging".

    A return of the week, the battery was 20%, after plugging in the charger, always the same message "Plugged in, no charging current".

    Now the laptop does not meet the key power when the battery is inserted.

    If I remove the battery and back again, it starts without pushing the power button and turns off after 10 seconds, well before Windows starts.

    She stops even on the Bios screen, OS is not definitely the question.

    When I plug in charger and press the power button / stop, the same thing, i.e. starts and shutts off after 10 to 15 seconds, regardless of the BIOS or Windows startup screen.

    I removed the ram and but again, but the problem still persists.

    Also there is no issue of overheating due to dust, as I've barely used the laptop for a few hours, the phone is about 6 months and under warranty.

    Please advice ASAP.

    Thanks in advance.

    Honestly, something prevents the battery charge. Computer laptop closing seconds after that reinsert the battery is a good indication the battery just is not getting charged. This could be a battery failure, charger, port, or in rare cases of charge motherboard.

    Since it's under warranty, I recommend you contact HP support that there is no easy solution for this on the forums. It's a hardware problem.

    The number of the Canada and the United States support is 1-800-474-6836.
