Phone down the toilet!

Hi,

Hope you can help (I'm new on here!).

Some time ago my wife dropped her Galaxy Y Young down the toilet(!) She managed to retrieve the phone and it was taken apart and dried thoroughly.
The phone didn't work for some time after this but eventually came back to life and the handset started to work again.

It's been about five weeks since the phone starting working and just the other day the phone turned off by itself. When we managed to turn the phone on again it was very slow at starting up (takes ages) and it is unresponsive when using it.

What possible solutions are there to get the phone back to how it used to work? Would re-installing the firmware be a possible answer?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Ginger_Overlord
