i wiped it dry seconds after it dropping with a microfiber towel.. put it back together and tried turning it on. it worked by the screen acting weird... kinda greenish?? turned it off and threw the phone in a bag of uncooked rice in hopes its some water that seeped into somewhere that will come out D:

any ideas what happened?

Follow the same procedure as posted on this forum dozens of times.... Don't turn it on until it's BONE DRY, ie: no moisture in the container you're drying it in at LEAST TWICE.

Otherwise might as well as flushed it.

my n1 has been completely soaked visible water under the screen, and it came back to life (after a week in a bag of rice) i think you will be just fine

I use 100% isopropyl alcohol. It forces out the water and dries fairly quickly when placed somewhere warm with good air flow. The more you can open up the case the better though.

Isopropyl is what I use to clean electronics when soldering. It will not hurt the circuits, but you need to let the alcohol evaporate completely; though this happens quicker than water by far.
