Hi,
This has happened already thrice, but this time it was too much. Each time I was using my phone in the rain the home button was more and more unresponsive, forcing me to press it harder in order for it to work, but it was fine until recently.
To my dumbness, I insisted on using my phone while it was raining, and after some time the phone's not been exposed to water both home buttons and capacitive buttons started to malfunction. It seemed as if all the three buttons were pressing themselves without command, and trying to press one of them myself resulted in no reaction.
I used the good known old trick, that is, putting the phone into a bowl with rice, which really helped. The buttons do not press themselves anymore, though I have to apply very strong pressure on the home button for it to work. Weirdly, sometimes even that does not result in a reaction, somtimes I only have to press it just a little bit harder and it works for a longer period of time, then again starts to malfunction. The phone has been lying in the rice for over 12 hours straight, so I assume it would not help any further.
Any ideas on how could I fix that?
Also, the warranty is long over.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
