Finger print scanner broken after water damage

[AC Question]

My phone fell under my sinks water for a second yesterday. I quickly dried it but it didn't help. The volume rocker was broken but started to work again though the scanner didn't so I put it in a bag of rice. Nothing has changed. The rice isn't even wet.

Water, at least ordinary water with impurities, is damaging. See this: https://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?t=477140
