Water damage - back key and menu key not working

[Jo-lene1231]

I dropped my phone in the bath for a fraction of a second. It had a plastic and rubber case on it and survived pretty well. It's working perfectly except for the menu button and the back button. Any suggestions?:'(

Welcome to Android Central! Did you try to dry it immediately using the uncooked rice in a sealed Ziploc bag trick? If you didn't, the damage may already be done. Try it anyway--seal the phone in a Ziploc bag full of uncooked rice, and let it sit overnight. Most people recommend taking the battery out and putting it in a separate bag.

Most people recommend leaving it in the container of rice for 48 hours or more.
They also recommend yanking the battery immediately and doing this, rather than fiddling around to see what works and what doesn't.
