First) The rice thing is a bad idea. It does nothing but bad things.

2)You have to decide if you want to gamble and try fix it yourself

or having a professional Waterdamage repair:

  • Do not turn the phone on, dont get impatient
  • You can open the phone according to ifixit Tutorials and clean the whole board with 99% Isopropyl Alcohol and a toothbrush. Let it dry for 48 hours and go online. Buy a new Battery.

After the 2 days insert the battery and try your luck.

PS: Even if you turn your phone on after a week of drying (without a proper cleaning) and your phone works, its no reason to be happy because it will fail in the coming weeks.

Usually it starts slowly with small and unknown errors. A fail here, a crash there until the phone does not start anymore.

A Waterdamage has to be dealt with.
