Hi,

so yesterday, i was with friends and my iphone 4 (not 4s) got wet... just a little bit. there was water on the case, and a couple drops on the screen. it worked fine at first after the water, but when i checked it about 10 minutes later, it wasn't working. the screen was really dark (but still on) and i couldn't slide to unlock it. i couldn't turn it off either. the battery died last night, and now it is not charging. i put the phone in rice (that apperently gets water out of cell phones) but it did nothing but make my phone dirty.
is my phone water damaged? and if it is (or even not), what should i do??
thanks!


ps.. i googled how i know if it is water damaged. it says to look in the earbud plug with a light and if you see red, it is water damaged. i did that and did not see red.
