Get the batteries out asap.

Stick in the airing cupboard for a few days, or a bag of cat litter.

And hope.

Ah so youve eventually joined us more in desperation than design.

Anyways welcome aboard :handshake:

Okay, first do not switch it on.
Second as Duncan advises take the batteries out and leave to cover off.
Next, dab out any water you can see then wrap in a warm cotton clothing item, best if all the T shirt your wearing - then into the airing cupboard.This process can be accelated by using a hairdryer.
After 30hours or more remove, add new batteries and fire it up.


The above is the offshore standard when a phone goes for a swim, the exception being its is left in full sun until onshore and the salt crystals have to be vacuumed out before re-assembly.

Good luck.
