Blank screen on mytouch 3g slide

[Phone wrecker]

Hi, I recently switched from bb to a droid x phone so I am not real familiar with how they work and what sort of diagnostic programs are available. Heres the propblem. A friend of mine was in a bad car crash and now the screen on his t-mob my touch 3g slide won.t turn on. When I turn the pnone on all the buttons and keyboard light up and the phone makes several different chimes but there is no screen. I have even accidently turned on a full voice tutorial of some sort. I am assuming the phone is working and the lcd went out. I am told they sprayed water on my friend while extracting him from the car and from what I have read these screens don't like water. Is there a program I can download to test the phone before I drop $50 on a new screen? What is the best place to get a new screen? I should mention that the phone has been drying in bag of rice for 6 weeks now. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi Phone wrecker, welcome to Android Central and I'm so sorry to hear about your friend, but I'm glad he made it out of the crash!

Unfortunately in a situation like this, there is probably some sort of hardware damage that is irreversible. If it's been a few days and restarting the device doesn't do the trick, you may have no other choice but to get a replacement device or screen.
