Never go swimming with your iphone in your pocket

I went to the gym last week and wore my swimming shorts. Obviously by the post title I forgot to remove my iphone form my pocket before jumping into the pool. The iphone was subjected to

1. A gym workout (working)
2. 10 Laps of Brunswick Baths outdoor pool (probably not working now)
3. 15 minute spa (hhmm not looking good)
4. 15 minute steam room

While sitting in the steam room I realised there was something in my pocket.... I had a little giggle to myself then went to the change rooms to assess the damage. The phone look extremely clean ;-)

On my return home I was extremely surprised to find that the phone actually worked, well kind of. When plugged into itunes it came to life however it spat the dummy when trying to restore the software.

I then pulled the phone to bits, put it in a box with some desiccant and ordered a new battery as the current one was blotted and swollen.

I think it's either the battery, hard drive or both that's buggered

when the battery arrives I'll update this post.

I still have high hopes that this will work one day.
