@ronmetcalfe for now,stop continuing to try to charge, sync or otherwise use your phone. This potentially can make a bad situation worse.This may further damage your phone.

The next thing to do, is to clean it. Disassemble your phone using the images below. You must remove all EMI shields from your circuit board.. If you do not remove those, you might as well not do anything. After you removed those, clean all the boards (main PBA and SUB PBA), connectors and all flex cables. with +90% (minimum) isopropyl alcohol. Follow this guide, and even so it was written for an Apple iPhone 3G all the points are still pertinent to your phone. While you clean your boards, check for any obvious damage, like burned or missing components etc. Once everything is properly cleaned, replace the battery. All these steps are to avoid delayed failure caused by corrosion. Best thing to do would be to clean it with an ultrasonic cleaner, but if you do not have access to one, this will at least help. Once all this is done, reassemble your phone and reevaluate. Until it is cleaned, everything will only be a guess. Even with all this, water damage has only a small chance to be fully repaired, but at least you can give it a try.
