i got my i9500 few days ago and fell in pole of water after sliping out of my hand.i let it dry in sun for few hours.i turned it on and everything is working except menu and back button.i done factory reset and flash image in odin and i even had the case opened and unpugged everything in there and plugged it back.i did not see any water inside the case.i did not get insurance since im in usa with i9500.
now if someone can shed some light how can i fix these captive buttons without replacing the lcd panel or glass.thanks in advance

I've read sticking electronics in a plastic bag or container with dry rice helps get all the water out. Even though you might not thinkk that water got in there, a small amount might have. Cant hurt to try.
