alicia, please remember that rice is a great first aid, but it does '''not''' stop corrosion nor does it fix any burned out SMD components. Do not waste valuable time to place your phone in rice and wait even longer. I strongly suggest that you disassemble your phone and clean every part with 90%+ isopropyl alcohol. Use a small brush to do so and do not forget to clean under all the EMI shields etc. Once cleaned (you may have to do it a couple of times) reassemble your phone, '''replace the battery''' and re-evaluate. Hope this helps, good luck.
