Phone went for a swim

you cant the screen is damaged 1st an likely the electronics . u can take the battery out an put it in a oven at 120 for 2 hrs. or freeze it , or put in bucket of dry rice .all these are a fairy story usually.
there are chemical to remove moisture . anything i an think of will require opening it an not a expected good outcome.
iv fixed few that were dropped in water. usually the battery was running an fried some components. once i dropped one in pool an it ran underwater an it was not water proof . go figure.

dont spray it with anything and dont give up hope, just keep it somewhere dry and warm , I had a mobile phone that went in the paddling pool for 15 mins and it started working again after 8 months !
I could not believe it ! I had given up and just thought I'd press the power button one more time before I recycled it

Once it has been in water, it is basically ruined - repair would cost way more than replacement.

It might be too late. but...

1. Take out the battery from the phone.
2. shake an excess water from the phone.
3. Allow to dry for 48 hrs.
4. Replace the battery and maybe the phone will work.

I have a uniden that's been in a swimming pool and it came back to life.

Good luck.

One time that happened to us tho it was actually dropped in a pool. We took battery out and dried it for a couple days. When we put the battery back in, it ACTUALLY worked. May not work for everyone or every phone but worth a try.

I would go for it. Battery may be discharged. It is either going to work or not. Water damage is the worst thing tp predict. Circuits may have corrosion unless you have looked at the boards.

take the battery and sim card out. put the phone, sim card and battery in a bag of regular dry rice for two days. reassembly, this has worked for my phone and ipod.

This same thing happened to me, except it was a toilet. My phone gave me the same message for about a day, but I put it under a reading lamp, battery out too, and let it sit for the night. When I turned it on in the morning it worked okay.

soak in rubbing alcohol and let dry for a couple of days shake out excess alcohol and make sure(take out battery first)is completly dry before recharging!!!! Good Luck!!! had cell phone drop in lake did that and worked!!!

The best thing to do anytime the phone gets wet, is to immediately remove the battery. I dropped one into a pool. I took the battery out and let the thing dry for about a week. It worked fine until I got rid of it about a year and a half later. The key is to removing the battery. The moisture and power together are the lethal combination.
