ShadowKid3:

xXDerpyPugXx:

bestie thats all i got im sorry idk what else to tell u

OLIVER69:

Well since you don't have the basic things people use for this situation, and you already dried it with a dry hand towel, there's no fixing it by yourself. You would need to see help by a professional for repairs.

ShadowKid3:

can i take the back off by myself?

xXDerpyPugXx:

unless u can make an emergency rice run ofc

HotPockets14:

Get a fan and take the phone out of the case and put the charger area on the fan and let it there for a hour

1. Turn off your phone immediately and do not attempt to turn it back on until it's completely dry. 2. Remove the case and any other accessories from your phone. 3. Wipe off any excess water on the surface of the phone with a soft, absorbent cloth. 4. Gently shake your phone to remove any water that might be trapped inside. 5. If possible, remove the battery, SIM card, and SD card from your phone. 6. Place your phone in a container filled with uncooked rice or silica gel packets to absorb the moisture. 7. Leave your phone in the container for at least 24-48 hours. 8. After the waiting period, remove your phone from the container and reassemble it. 9. Turn on your phone and check if it's working properly. If your phone still isn't working properly after trying these steps, you may need to take it to a professional for repair.

If your battery is in a open area where you can remove it, There is a 90% change the battery has water damange so even if you get the phone on it still wont work
