Delyla Johnson for the same reason as any other phone that was exposed to liquids. There are enough solids in urine that can shorten out any circuit the same as water etc. You will have to treat it the same as you would any other liquid damaged device.

First you want to stop continuing to try to charge, sync or otherwise use your phone. This potentially can make a bad situation worse.

After that you will have to disassemble your phone. Use this video in reverse order to disassemble your phone. Take a careful and close look at all components and connectors. Truly assess the damage. Look for major corrosion, evaluate the pins in the connectors etc,. Take a look at all connectors as well as cable ends. After that I would suggest that you clean it a couple of times in sterile water, not drinking water. This should remove more of the solids left as residue. Use a soft brush and clean it very, very thouroughly with the sterile water. You must remove all the EMI shields to properly clean this board. If you do not remove these, you are not cleaning the board properly. Once you got the gross contamination cleaned, use 90%+ isopropyl alcohol and clean your parts some more. For a proper cleaning, use this guide. It was written for a Apple iPhone 3G but it is still pertinent to your phone as well. I can not stress the importance of a good cleaning enough, so do it over and over while replacing the alcohol after each cleaning. Do not use compressed air for the cleaning since that can drive liquid as well as corrosion particles into areas that will cause trouble later on. Do not use drinking water, if you need to use water, use sterile water. Also, you do not need to leave it to dry for a day. Isopropyl alcohol in the higher concentration will evaporate quickly and dissipate the water. The importance here is the cleaning. The best way would of course be to get it professionally cleaned with an ultrasonic cleaner. Do not forget to replace the battery. This is a must and not an option. It will fail if you do not take care of it now. Then reassemble your phone and evaluate for any further damage. Keep in mind that liquid damage is the hardest to troubleshoot and to repair.
