Have you tried getting a new SIM card? I would definitely try to replace the SIM card, it could have easily been the SIM getting damaged in the water. Give it a try, they will give you one from your cell phone carrier.
The answer to that is the water has permeated the lcd.It sounds as though really you have been lucky.
If you search for used cell phone parts it will give you a idea on price to fix.
Even if you have dried the phone out it is a good idea to check the small ribbon cables for corrosion sometimes you can remove this using a small pencil eraser. It is possible that there might be one of two high impedance connections causing your problem.
when you take it from bowl did you disassamble it and free it from watter and battery? battery must be take off untill phone dry. If battery was in it it may cause some condensation and need to be cleaned.
Also some light flash in sides are when battery discharged, try to recharge it, if don't began charging better take it to any customer care.
I dropped my Nokia E71 from two storeys high onto carpark below and can't get it to switch on and power up at all .... how can I retrieve all my numbers and other data that was stored on the phone ? ....
well, rules of electronics generally say...
Never turn it on if not completely dry (random powercharge from your battery could damage the whole inside)
So switch it off, take our you battery and sim card, and dry on a radiator (not too hot) at a temp. little higher than room temp. Do NOT use blowdryer, the water will get everywhere within. It will not dry in hours, leave it for a day.
Often the same works with the better built laptops if splashed over with water. Needs to be 100% dry, so wait or risk persistent keyboard or screen errors in the least.
Phones sometimes survive the hard liquer or water but the liquid better not be softdrink, carbonated or sugary... But i did see some pretty amazing samsung and nokia survivals lol...
