leave the battery out and put it somewhere dry for a few days.
If you are very very very lucky it will work again.

I dropped my k850i down the toilet when pissed (and pissing  ) and there was no way back for it unfortunately. Completely donald ducked.
Tried taking battery and sim card out, leaving it out to dry for a couple of days, but no luck.

Just leave it off for a few days, done it to loads of phones before 
Take the case apart and make sure all the water is out before you turn it back on.

Mate and my sister both dropped their phones in a paddling pool (wasn't my fault, honest  )
Took the battery straight out, put them in an airing cup'd for a couple of days and they both worked fine after.

dont use heat, it will damage it you need to let it dry naturally for a few days and ensure its fully dry before you even think of putting any power through it

My phone went into the washing machine a couple of months back. Took the battery and sim out, left it to dry and it lives on
