Dropped iPhone 4s in toilet?

I dried it with a towel and put it Straight in rice and left it there for 4 days, today i plugged the charger in and it fired up but the screen stayed black ( i know it fired up ecause when my phone gets the home screen it bleeps at me, and i did a print screen) the buttons are all working fine.
is it just a matter of leaving it in the rice for the screen to work again? Or is my screen just gone?
i've put it back in the rice now though

Added (1). I've looked on ebay for new iPhones, i'm planning on buying one for about £200 if this one doesn't work anytime soon.

Your screen is probably gone, and warrentis do not cover water damage

Most likely the screen would come back after you've let it settle. But if it doesn't and you can't access much of the phone, you should stop the service on the phone and ask for a repair. In worst cases you could buy a new phone if the screen doesn't come up.

  • I dropped my iPhone in the toilet.what should i do? I dropped my iPhone in the toilet last night at 3 a.m. And i put it in minute mexican rice for the time i was asleep. My lock button and speaker won't work and it randomly just turns off and i can't turn it back on. I went and got white rice this morning and it is currently sitting in a bowl with the white rice. What do i need to do?
  • I dropped my IPhone in the toilet, and now my home button doesn't work? 2 days ago I dropped my IPhone 4 in the toilet, and pulled it out right away. I dried it off quickly and it was perfectly fine and nothing was wrong. But then last night, my home button started to not work unless I pressed it 10+ times… I have the accessible touch thing on, but I was wondering if could fix this myself?
