Water stuck in iPhone screen
Ok here's my problem. My iphone 4 has home button problem since the last 2 months. So, since then I have known a solution from google saying rub it with a little alcohol around the home button. I do not have any, but I use the iKlear apple polish to do it. It works will, until today, it stop working.
Stop working as it is not responding at all. So i add more of this iklear, BOOM my screen is watery :( I pour too much and it gets into it via home button.
Below the screen, i can see the screen is not the same as before, and i believe it is iklear thats get into it.
I was wondering, is my SCREEN spoil???
Or that water stuck in between the glass case and above screen board?
As for now I do not dare to switch it ON.. so its OFF and i put it in a container with RICE...
Update
OK after 2 days... i hardly see my screen wet.. just 1 small white dot at the corner. now another problem is, my iphone didnot make any keypad, keylock, no sms tones, no sound playing any game/youtube.. but the phone is still ringing over phone call and sound notification. i can hear everything with headphone, but not without it. why?? is it because i soak in rice???
Update
I end up sending my phone to a shop for repair, since warranty void for water damage.. Got my home button fix...
as for the no text sound, no keylock sound, and no keypad sound, it has nothing to do with headphone jack... BUT the problem is with my dock connector error which recognize my iphone in dock speaker mode so it mute all that sound except ringtone.
so i fix home button & dock connector.
My display do have a little bit white spot, which the shop cant even detect it, but i already know where it is. So i dont change it since it is like to little.
Thanks for all the respond here, it really helps :)
Is this a good question?

Since it is 99.1% water, you are doing the right thing. See if the rice will get the water out of your screen. Give it a couple of days and see what you get. Concerns might be given to the other ingredients of the solution. Do not turn it on and reevaluate the damage in a few days. Since the space under your screen is small, you will need more time for the water to dissipate. Here is the chemical information of the iKlear
