please help!

hello, i was recently watching a YouTube video in my room and suddenly my phone stopped the screen flicker'd 3 times and shut down, now it wont come back on even when i plug it into the charger...????!

Though, earlier before that happened i wen't to go take a shower since we have no radio in our bathroom i put my iheart radio app on and put my phone on the window ledge and so it fell onto the tub floor not cracking it or anything but the shower water did hit it, just then i picked it up hurried to wipe it off and it was fine until like i say when i was watching that YouTube the blinding of Issac video then that's when the screen flickered and shutoff.. now i would tell my dad but automatically he would assume i was watching porn in the bathroom and it fell into the water right then screwing the phone and making it junk.

So, could anyone help me on how to get it working again? without taking it to the ATT store...? since it shutoff and won't come back on my Snap chat, Hot or not, Facebook, and all my numbers are basically Gone if this doesn't work

You should have left the phone turned off when it got damaged by water, placed it on a ziplock bag of rice. Though I've seen some videos that the G3 can withstand some water damage.

The flickering might have been caused by your previous incident when it fell, you might want to check LG support with that.

Splashes of water probably didn't do anything to it. The G3 is pretty water resistant. Unless when it hit the tub the back came off...

I would pull the battery and sim card and SD card. Wait some time and then put just the battery in. Plug in charger and hold the power button in until you feel vibration or see the screen light up.

My wife's G2 took a swim in a lake and continued working well over a year. Actually, it still works, we just bought her a g3.

Have you tried putting the phone in rice with the back off and the battery out? Also did you plug charger in the phone right after you saw that it wouldn't turn on? If so, you may have a bigger issue to deal with.
