So i took it apart again, read something about a rice trick and it is now in a bag of rice.... but still worried about the touch screen? Everything else works... do u think it may be irreversible? Anybody had this happen??? Please Help!!
Capacitive touch screens can be very sensitive to moisture and cause them to behave erratically. It might be fine, but you'll have to wait for a day or two for the phone to completely dry. But you may have damaged it severely for not letting it dry completely and may have shorted something with the screen sensors.
