Why is my Galaxy S5 touchscreen unresponsive?

Galaxy S5 Touchscreen Unresponsive

My son spilled water on my S5 yesterday morning, I wiped it off and placed it in rice for roughly 27 hrs. Phone will power on and all the keys work but the touch function is not responsive. I have powered off my phone several times and read several articles about faulty touchscreens but they don't address my issue of not having the ability to access the settings. Is there a way to fix the screen without sending it in to a tec?

You didn't have to put it in rice, the s5 is water-resistant. And sometimes the touchscreen won't respond if there are still some water on the screen. Make sure you wipe the whole screen dry and try again
