Water damaged phone won't boot

[cbolender2004]

Hi, my sister-in-law dropped her Droid 4 in the toilet. After putting the phone in rice for 3 days, it will turn on and first show the red Motorola logo, then the red Droid eye loading screen, but never progresses beyond the loading screen. Advice on how to proceed? Thanks in advance!

Remove the battery and place the phone under uncooked rice in a container. The rice is used to absorb the moisture. Then try turning it on in a couple of days.

Thank you for the reply. Please note in the original post, I mention putting the phone in rice for three days.
