My phone will not come on it has little white letters saying volume bu

@derekewright even so we do not have all teh information we need to have to give you a precise answer, there are generic things that you can do. These apply to any device that got water damaged.

First off, the myth of rice as a tool for any kind of immersion accident has long been laid to rest as totally bogus. Rice does not work. It is the equivalent of doing absolutely nothing.

For now, you want to 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 according to whatever make and model your phone is. REmove teh main board and if your phone is so equipped, the daughter boards as well. You must remove all EMI shields from the boards. If you do not remove those, you might as well not do anything. After you remove those, clean the whole boards, connectors and everything else (except the display) with +90% isopropyl alcohol. Follow this guide It was written for an Apple iPhone 3G but all the points are still pertinent to your phone as well. I can not stress the importance of a good cleaning enough, so do it over and over while replacing the alcohol after each cleaning.

While you clean your board, check for any obvious damage, like burned or missing components etc. When it 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, replace your battery, 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.
