    Try my steps below and your phone actually might start working again. You can buy a new phone at $50 if you are covered my insurance.

    (1) IMMEDIATELY REMOVE THE BATTERY. VERY VERY IMPORTANT!

    (2) As soon as possible (preferably within 20-30 minutes). dissassemble the phone using Torx T6 screwdriver. (Get this off eBay or service depots, etc) Make an emergency trip to Sears/RadioShack/ACE/service depot/etc.

    (3) Clean/dry as much as you can, using Q-Tips

    (4) Dry the electronics components under a desk lamp on a paper towel for 24 hours.

    (5) Use a blow dryer, set on warm. Blow dry the phone. Make sure your battery and sim card are out of the phone.

    (6) Put your phone in rice for 24 hours w/ battery and sim out

    (7) Reassemble the phone

    (8) Put back together

    (9) Only now it's safe to put the battery back in.

    You can also leave the battery and sim out. Leave your phone out in the sun. Let it dry.

    You should be able to get a replacement phone if you go to the AT&T store if you have insurance on it. If they don't have the phone anymore, they'll give you a different phone of equal value.
