    Turn it off, take the battery out, and put the entire phone and battery in a container with plain white uncooked rice. Seal the container with a lid and leave it for 24 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It works every time. Look it up on youtube.

    tearing into it, and placing it in the oven will technically void the warranty.
    Try this...place your phone in a ziplock bag that is half full of rice. The rice will draw the moisture from the phone in about 2 days. It worked for me.

    good luck
