ratiqatamadze59, just like any other phone that got submerged, you will have to take it apart. Stop using your phone, stop trying to connect it to your computer etc. since this could make it worse. Use this video to help you with that. Once apart, clean very part including the logic board and every connector on the board and ribbon cables with 90%+ isopropyl alcohol and a soft brush. Once properly cleaned, replace the battery. This is important so that it does not fail later on. Once properly cleaned you could reassemble it and double check. You could also replace the front display assembly since the touch is not working. This could be caused by a shorted out digitizer, but also by a short circuit on your logicboard. Only after proper cleaning can you make that determination.

Hey Dear oldturkey ,
I have just disassembled my phone and the exact same thing happened to me , it drowned but I try to make it come back to life so I tried to boot it up , charge it , blow on it , and after all of that , something like 4 days , we got it into the phone lab , they failed to fix it , then to another one , they failed too , so now its only me and the phone and I dont know how to 100% fix that, when you said to clean it , can you describe exactly how?
I'm afraid to damage the phone even more ..
Thanks
how do you take out the battery of an A5? that's like taking out the battery of an iPhone and I don't know how so...
@skinnyoreos did you check the video link in the original answer?
Cellphone a5 I dipped in water and was completely soaked first with dry cloth and put my cellphone in the rice bag for 48 hours and turned on after 48 hours and it worked fine
It's been in rice for 40 hours, touch screen still not working, getting concerned

Rice does literally nothing for it, if you can not pull the device apart then you will need to place it in either silica or kitty litter and put a fan on it set to high
