Zoie Perry sent me an email from Longview, Texas
one morning that read,
"Do you work on the ipod touch? Apple says I have corrosion on my connector? Not sure what that means, but they wont cover it and it wont turn on?
I am not sure what happened...on Thur May 21 it was fine, except for a low battery...my daughter put it on the charger in my car and then when I took it off the next morning it would not turn on? Prior to this it had been fine, and it has not been drop it in water. I have a five year old who like to play with it so I cant be for sure that nothing was spilled on it, but the pink liquid submersion indicator is normal? This was my daughters Christmas present and she is devastated. Do you think this can be repaired? It is a 1st generation 8GB Ipod touch..no volume controls on the outside.. "
Her iPod Touch I was not able to get working. I worked at it over several days and couldn't make a positive outcome of it. I sent it back with a refund of the $30 plus the $5 she sent for Priority Mail back.
These shots show details of the corrosion and rust I found once I got into the Touch. You can click on them to get a larger image of the detail.
For $30 she found out there was nothing on earth that was going to make a positive difference.

Dillon Yonash emailed me from here in Santa Rosa, California about an iPhone.
The message read,
"Do you do iPhone 3G water submersion repairs?
- Dillon"
I have a policy of responding to any email I read at the moment I read it. That keeps me from having to wonder if I've overlooked sending a replay to anyone. I sent Dillon a replay within a minute of receiving the message and got back this reply,
"Hey Frank,
Thanks for the quick reply. I went searching for you based on the recommendation of a friend.
I'm actually in Sonoma County and will be in Santa Rosa tonight. I can drop the phone by, but it'll probably be pretty late. Is there a drop box that I can use? What should I include with the phone (power cord)?
It fell into a toilet yesterday night. I couldn't get it to power off and stay off (there was obviously a short of some kind as it would cycle on and off). I just let it die over night, and have not tried to turn it back on again. There is water condensation in the camera eye on the back.
Thanks,
Dillon"
Later that day Dillon brought it in and I began work on it. By late the next day I had it working again.
It cost Dillon $60 to get the iPhone back working perfectly again.
Fixed - Total cost $60.
