Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini touch screen not working - fixable?

[wilkinson_jl]

I recently dropped my Samsung Galaxy S3 mini in water. It was in for only a second and I immediately removed the battery and SIM/SD cards and dried it out in a bag of rice. It powers on, the sound works, messages are coming in, and everything appears to be working fine - except the touch screen. The screen image is clear and has no problems. The buttons on the side perform their proper functions, but I get no response at all with the touch screen, and without that I can't unlock the screen or access anything on the phone. Any chance this is fixable? Or do I now just have a very expensive pocket watch...

did you ever find a fix or aprox cost to fixing this? My son recently did the same thing and is having the same problem.

The above links are for the S3 but you can probably find screen assemblies for the Mini at both. Just Google it if you don't.
