A couple of hours later I put in an alternate battery. It worked. It worked for awhile. Then I guess, that battery decided it didn't like water either?

It's off again. It won't turn back on.

Do I try one more battery? How long does a cell phone take to dry on the inside? Is there any forgiveness between cellphones and water?

Do I need to go shopping on ebay?
My brother dropped his digital camera in water. To fix it, he removed the chassis, and poured silica gel(the desiccant they use in those tiny white packets to keep things dry) on the circuit board and let it dry out.
