Can water damage be repaired?

[stevew11]

I fell into a creek and my phone was in my pocket and now won't turn on (after sitting in rice for a week) Does anyone know if this is repairable? Thanks

Not after sitting in rice for a week. You gave all the salts and other chemicals in the water a week to eat at all the metal in the phone. Read http://forums.androidcentral.com/am...77140-oh-no-my-phone-got-wet.html#post4158269
