Don't try to switch on your cellphone as it might worsen the problem. Get a hair-dryer to dry it fo at least a few hours. Hopefully it will work.

Be ready to accept it might not ever work again but you have to let it dry. Take of the battery and let it all dry out...leave it for a day or two. put it somewhere it can dry inside also. After this just put it back together and try to turn it on. This happened to my friend and he did exactly that and it worked. No reasonable explantations. Just got lucky.

I dropped my cell phone into a fish tank and drying it out for a week didn't help and i had to return it.

few of my friends had a little luck on this one. He look a heat blower in office and made it dry and it started to work.
But the other time we had to replace it.
