I know this post is probably pretty specific but I'll start anyway...
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 and a couple days ago, on a camping trip, I jumped into the lake with my phone in my pocket and hadn't noticed after a couple minutes. So my phone at the time was dead so I had no way of knowing if anything was broken but the next day I charged it and it turned on. However when I came back I noticed the phone would charge and everything was functioning EXCEPT... (dun dun dun) the SCREEN was BLACK. Now I use my phone quite often so I know where a couple apps are. Knowing this I am able to turn the flashlight on and off so I know the touchscreen works but the ONLY PROBLEM seems to be THE SCREEN. I've been reading up on this and long story short, I've heard the submerging the phone in isopropyl alcohol (99%) can fix the phone. So I just wanted to know if any of you guys have had this problem and if you had any luck. Thanks for reading guys.
P.S. the reason the phone lacked water resistance is because the little door for the charger broke off.
