I just put my iPhone 4s in a LifeProof fee for a few days; for the first time.
After about 3 days, my iPhone started to not charge and it had a difficult time getting online.
It seemed that moisture was trapped inside the unit and was causing the wiring to remain wet, which caused the iPhone to malfunction.
I took it out of the waterproof case and placed it under a 300 watt lightbulb while it was plugged into a wall socket to allow it to dry out and luckily the iPhone is back to normal.
It seems that electronics can not be stored in dry systems that don't allow the unit to breath.
This also happened to me in January 2013–I placed a Fuji X-E1 camera in a Sea to Summit UltraSil Day Pack after photographing a very humid cave. After about 14 hours inside the dry bag–the moisture inside the camera had caused the shutter speed dial to stop working. Eventually the autofocus also stopped working–apparently due to moisture damage. The damage was made worse by placing the camera inside a dry bag.
Any thoughts?
