Phone not working after getting wet?

I got soaked in a rainstorm and my phone got really wet. I noticed it turned off and got really hot. Since the battery not removable there was nothing I could do.

I kept it next to my dehumidifier for two days and dried it out but it still does not turn on.

I try to charge it, there are no sounds or inidcators that it s charging but it does get quite hot, high 40 s celcius according to my infrared thermometer.

What are the chances this will work again, maybe given more time or if I take it for repair? Does the fact that it responds in a way to the charger being plugged indicate one way or another if it s a good or bad thing? I already have a new phone, I just want to be able to turn it on and get my data.

    turn it off, put it in a baggie full of [uncooked] rice for a few days, then try it

    [the rice pulls the moisture out]
