Phone vibrates when charging after water damage
Hi.
Swam with phone, unintentionally. Perhaps 5 minutes at max 1m. Unfortunately the USB port cover had broken off months ago, and as such my S5 isn't water resistant anymore. Took phone out, tapped power button to see response. none, so removed battery. Dried phone shook out water, over 12 hours in rice.
I have tried switching it on, no response. Connected charging cable and I get a single vibration every 5 seconds, no response from power button, no response on screen. Thoughts? Do I keep drying the phone, and hope? Or am I screwed?
Cheers,
Is this a good question?

Now it manages to do the same on just battery. Once battery is in, and I press the power on button, the phone vibrates once every 5 seconds. Briefly had a screen flicker, but doesn't start up fully.

Thanks @oldturkey03. Was thinking along those lines, but I am weary of breaking the adhesive seal between the chassis and screen. May take it to a pro, since getting those supplies (adhesive, tools, etc) for cell phone repair in Botswana is very difficult.
Might still consider it if I can get those though,
Cheers,
