i dropped my phone ages ago will rice still work

[AC Question]

i dropped my phone about 5 months ago now i would like to know how to fix it and if rice works this late on (yes in water)

Not likely. Rice doesn't actually fix wet phones, they just suck the water out. It's been standing for six months. If water is still there then damage has been done.

Read Oh, no! My Phone got Wet! to see why. (Five minutes is too long. Five seconds may not be. Putting the phone in rice is an easy way to destroy it - it lets the chemicals in the water work on the phone for hours, at least.)
