Do not try to turn it on. Take the battery out and put the phone in a bowl of rice. Leave it there for a day (I left it for two just in case). Put the battery back in it will hopefully turn on. I learned that from these boards and it worked on my phone and another friend's phone too. I hope it helps.

Do not try to turn it on!!!

Take out battery and put both into a ziploc with dry rice in it. Zip it up tight. Rice will soak up the moisture.

But I don't know how ocean water will come into play here!!!

GL!!

Keep it off so the heat and water don't fry it.
I used to rice trick on my env touch, worked 100%. We actually kept the rice in a bag labeled cell phone, after JIC ot was needed again.
