(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So my dumbass jumped in the pool with my phone.

I left it in rice for 2 days just to get it back "somewhat" working.

But since then it crashes, automatically restarts and reboots, like every 3-4 minutes.

I tried to restore it but once the phone restarts it disconnects from itunes and fails.

So then i tried to put it in DFU mode..... Cant do that cause my power button doesnt work.....

I eventually got a restore to go through and afterwards the crashing comes back every 3-4 minutes, so fully restoring my phone did absolutely nothing.

After getting so pissed cause it restarts and ruins calls, messages, etc.

I reactivated my Iphone 4S sim card. So i at least have a working phone for awhile.

But now today my iphone 5s battery died, so i went to plug it in and it is now 100% worse.

It reboots every 2-3 seconds. It shows the apple logo, then black screen, apple logo, black screen.. Every 3 seconds when it is plugged in, Itunes cant recognize a phone is plugged in, i cant do anything.

Its been plugged in all day just rebooting.

The phone is practically bricked it feels like.

Anyone have any idea no matter how little on what to do? Im pre sure im screwed though. No warranty on the phone nothing.
