help! Iphone put in microwave & not working now

Is there anything I can do about an iphone microwaved for less then a second? It won't turn on and is just showing the apple icon. I've tried holding sleep and power button with no results. Also tried connecting to the computer and its also doing nothing.

I would guess many of the sensitive electronics (i.e. CPU's, RAM & ROM chips, LTE radios, etc.) don't get along to well with microwaves when being bombarded with same, even for a second, so defn is correct, the phone is probably ruined.

Good luck,

I finally got my computer to recognize it was connected to it and attempted to restore phone, however it said it was unable to restore. Any advice? My toddler did this BTW

What exactly are you looking for it to do? The phone is ruined, you would have to buy a new one..

I'm kinda curious as to why you would put your phone in the microwave?
