Hey guys, my phone fell into a cold sea water for a quite a long time. When I took it out it started making weird sound. I took battery out(and it stopped) and put it in a bowl of rice. After 15 hour I put battery back in and turn it on and it started making weird sound again. What can I do?
Is this a good question?

Hi,
The phone's internal components need to be cleaned and the corrosion caused by the water (and the salts in sea water) need to be removed. Here is a general guide which explains what to do in the event of liquids entering electronic devices.
Rice is good to eat but unfortunately it doesn't do anything to prevent the corrosion of electronic components caused by the combination of electricity and liquids.
You may need to take the phone to a reputable, professional phone repair service and hopefully they may be able to get it working again.
