Rep Question - Help with Ruined Phone
Thursday night, when driving home late from a local watering hole, I accidently dropped my LG 8100 into a glass of Diet Coke which was in the cupholder in my center console.

I really had to drive the moisture out of it over time, NOT HIGH heat. It worked flawlessly ever since.
You may try opening up the clamshell, removing the battery ...
