iPhone 5 got wet while at the beach a few weeks ago (while in a life proof case) and I've pretty much tried everything to resurrect it with no luck. Besides being an a-hole and bitching about it to Lifeproof, is there anything I could do with the phone? Will people buy them in this condition for parts maybe?

I wonder if the rice method applies here.

You could get something for it on ebay if you have no other options.

Bitching about it to Lifeproof isn't being an a-hole. It's supposed to be waterproof.

Yeah someone will buy it for a little bit on eBay to salvage usable parts. But with salt water damage a few weeks ago, you might not get much.

I washed one of my first ones in the dishwasher once, threw that baby in rice for a few days... Was good as new. Ended up making a profit on ebay when I upgraded

It's not completely useless. You'd be surprised how hard it is to find a good paper weight these days.
