iPhone 4 dropped it into a pool
dropped it into a pool and retrieved it immediately. put it into a bag of white rice overnight, now the screen comes on, but cant slide to power off, no touch functions work at all. vibrate switch and sleep and home buttons work, and sound, but no touch screen at all. called apple tech line and they walked me through the restore process, to no avail. my itunes says that i need to take it to an apple store. ive seen alot of stuff online that suggest that the phone can be fixed without replacing parts. is this true, and how can i accomplish this? ive already taken it apart, cleaned all contacts with rubbing alcohol and blew it out with compressed air, put it back together, same result...please help
Is this a good question?

I would check it again, surely the digitizer could be gone - but check all parts for fluid residue - not only the "contacts". use a soft paintbrush to clean the logic board
