Then zap zap sucker shuts off without retracting the lens and we hear parts rolling around inside the phone. Took apart the phone and little surface mount parts rolling around inside. If it's just water, usually the impurity content is low. If it's the sweetend iced tea, good luck. If it's unsweetend iced tea, probably ok, but you know something is making the water brown... rinse with distilled water or de-ionized water. electricity doesn't flow in de-ionized water so even when wet it shouldn't short stuff out. Water itself is a horrible conductor, but add electrolytes to it and you're screwed.

True dat homie.
