take it apart and go after it with one of them hairdryers that the the women use ive used on it on other things and its helped and i dont think it will hurt it anymore than you already have =). oh yea by take it apart i only mean like battery cover off and battery out but since they will be able to tell that its got water damage already then you could probably go ahead and take it completely apart if you know how.

The biggest mistake that people make after dunking their phone ( or any electronic device) is turning it on to see if it still works.

This is what you should do:

1. Don't turn it on! Immediately remove battery and open all covers
2. Gently shake out some of the water. Don't go crazy because you're likely to drive moisture in to areas that may be dry.
3. Choice, depending on how long it was under - either dunk it in rubbing alcohol and then put it in a bag of uncooked rice OR just go directly in to the rice if the dunking wasn't that severe.

4. Wait a day or two before reassembling it.

Yeah, cause the only thing that's more fun than insurance fraud is being in a prison cell with a big guy named Bubba.
