Put it in a bowl full of rice, device should be shut down prior to this, and leave it in there for 48 hours without taking it out and touching it. Before you put it there open all other flaps. After 48 hours clove flaps and try to power it on, if nothing happens put it on charger and see if LED light turns on, if it does, hooray you have a working phone

put it in a ziplock bag of rice for 48 hours. Then after that time has passed open all the flaps and use a blowdryer on it for 15 minues, making sure to blow the hot air in to the ports too.

If he is to use a blowdryer then he might melt the tiny rubber that sticks back and front panel to the body of phone.

you put the blowdryer on low setting and you dont hold it super close to the phone. just enough so warm air blows on and in to it.
