Open up the phone and dry it in the sun, or do a blow-drying. Ensure that every trace of water is out of the phone. Then try switching it on. If the screen still appears blank, then the water must have severed the connection between the board and the screen. Open up the entire phone (screws and all ) and first with a soldering pin, melt off totally the solder initially joining the screen to the board, then re-solder it. I hope this helps.
open the top and set it where warm, dry air can blow through it for 10-15 minutes. maybe even use a hair dryer. also make sure to blow out the outputs.
good luck!
these were the first 5 things you would have done when it fell
Turn the device off and do not charge it - You want to keep the phone non-operational while it dries out.
Drip dry and shake off as much water as possible
Dismantle whatever you can - If you are able to remove the battery and cover, do so. The more you expose the better it will dry.
Cover your phone in a bowl of rice - Rice will help absorb moisture like how it does in salt shakers.
Draw it away with a vacuum cleaner held over the affected areas for up to 20 minutes in each accessible area,
having already removed the majority of liquids and moisture manually
and dried all visible moisture by hand, so that none enters the vacuum
cleaner. This method is preferable to leaving it to dry naturally as it
halts any oxidation from occurring deep inside, such as can result in
functional issues later on. This is the fastest way (less than thirty
minutes after your phone drowns, it can be completely dry and working,
especially if you are able to also partly or fully disassemble it) to
quickly get all the internal moisture out of the phone effectively and
stop the internals from 'rotting' away. Remember that the goal is to
**** all the moisture and humidity out of the phone not to blow it even
further in and create even more evil humidity deep inside
now tat its nt working it seems its not sensitive to touch replace
Apparently, Some water worked its way into the camera circuitry. You need to stop trying to get it to work...you're only making things worse. Remove the card and battery. Bury the camera in a bowl of dry rice for a few days to absorb any moisture.
You should have left it dry instead of turning it on, you probably have corrosion now, find a local place that works on phones to see if they'd work on it.
If you want to try to completely dry it, put it in rice for 24 hours minimum to draw out all moisture.
disassemble it as much as you can. leave it in a dry warm environment for about a week to dry out. put it back together in about a week. charge up the battery and power it up. cross your fingers it may work.
The best way to treat a phone after water submersion is to remove the battery immediately and allow it to dry near a radiator or other gentle heat source. Sometimes burying the handset in dry rice will speed up the drying out process. Be prepared to take it in for repair if the above doesn't work. If it's insured you should be covered for water damage.
Units that experience water damage are normally irrepairable even after drying out. I would take it to a qualified repair center and have them give you an estimate on repairing the unit. You may find that replacing the camera is more economical than repairing it.
If the iPod was on, and fell in the pool, then probably not. If it wasn't I would let it dry out, use a hairdryer and blow the water out through the cracks (and headphone and docking jack) and let it sit for a few days. Try to use it then. Since the warranty doesn't cover it, i'm sorry if it won't work.
