At this point I would guess no. You would have to replace some of the hardware.

For future reference, if you put your phone in the drink, throw it in rice for DAYS. no battery in it, taken apart totally. A few hours sitting out will not dry it out enough.

You'd probably be better off buying a new virgin phone...

They'd probably get a much better deal in a used phone on eBay or craigslist.

Your better off using Moisture Absorbing Silica Gel packets. Rice doesn't really absorb much unless your cooking. The important thing is to not power it on.

Dont go to a repair shop with a phone like that.
