most of the time, under the battery you will have a white circle and if its get wet, it turns to a red color. i know verizon just looks at that first. if its water damaged its NOT covered by insurance. i found that out the hard way. get a cheap phone off of the internet.

They can see the circle.

The electrical will be fine if you don’t turn it on or try to use it after it happened. It can’t break if there is no electricity circulating.

This is the standard procedure.

1. Shut it off instantly
2. Shake off all major water out of it
3. Take the battery out (If applicable)
4. Hair dry it on low heat until it seems like your hands should fall of and it’s done… then hair dry it some more.
5. When you’re brave and the thing is baking in heat try to turn it on.
