iPhone touch screen unresponsive when at low battery?

3 weeks ago I fell into a river and my iPhone was in my pocket. I immediately pulled it out, it wouldn't turn on/was dead. I tried the rice trick, and after 48 hours phone works fine although touch screen does not work on small spots.

Today however, the touch screen would be unresponsive for first few seconds after turning on phone, then would be perfectly fine afterwards although slightly sluggish. As the battery goes down through the course of the day this period of unresponsiveness gets longer and longer, until at 50% the touch screen is completely unresponsive, no matter how long I wait/swipe. Is this a hardware issue? If it is, is it fixable/worth to fix?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

The treatment u needed is IPA soaking method.

The rice soaking the moisture but a lot of places (I presume) is corroded!!!

U very lucky that your phone i partly functional but what u should do is open it up (if u don't have the skills go immediately to some lab) and brush the board and the connectors with IPA (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isopropyl...).

Oh and by the way:

When electrical device is got wet u should never try to turn it on with the same battery!!

Good luck david and let us know if there is some changes!!
