STUPID!!
Desiccants are objectively better than air drying. That's why they're called desiccants. Rice has LONG been used as one. Do you need studies?
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/14992027.2016.1253877?journalCode=iija20esults: All desiccants and the white rice were effective in removing moisture from hearing aids, with Hal Hen Super Dri Aid showing the largest mean reduction in relative humidity. Based on analysis of covariance results, white rice was statistically similar to several of the commercial desiccants.

There is a big movement of people replacing silicon dioxide with processed rice husk. Because it fucking works.
If you insult rice one more time I'm going to rape your sister. -

2018-03-28 at 11:29 AM UTCIs your SD card removable? How long has it been?
If it's been a few weeks, have you tried charging it?
Do you have insurance on it, or will you be able to trade it in for a discount on another one?
If it's totally trash and won't turn on or charge or show up as a drive on the computer, I'd smash it to see if there's an internal SD card, then see if that works in a CPU or another phone -

2018-03-28 at 7:57 PM UTCThe "put it in rice" thing is an internet myth. If you want to further destroy your phone, throw it in rice.
The only PROPER way to handle this is to CEASE FROM ATTEMPTING TO USE THE PHONE.
You'll need to disassemble the phone to remove the motherboard, remove any heat shields that cover the various ICs, and then soak the board in 91% or higher isopropyl alcohol overnight.
The next day, gently scrub the board with an acid brush or old toothbrush, being sure not to brush so hard you knock off components.
Use a qtip to clean the ribbon cable connectors with more 91% iso, allow the fully dry, then reassemble.
It would be better if you had an ultrasonic cleaner with auto frequency scanning capability like a repair shop would (like I have), but you can follow what I said as a pretty straight forward way of trying to get data back.
Also, replace the battery. It's gotten wet, so go ahead and assume it's finished. Power on ONLY AFTER doing everything I said and with a new battery.
Have it connected to a PC and be ready to transfer data ASAP because you never know HOW LONG the phone will work for. Don't wanna spend precious time dicking around with it.

You can use that video to disassemble your phone and reassemble.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-03-28 at 7:59 PM UTCProbably short circuited and blew something as soon as it was switched on wet.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

2018-03-28 at 8:01 PM UTCEverything becomes "retarded" as soon as a more advanced method is discovered. That doesn't mean the less advanced method was wrong, or bullshit or a myth, it just means there is now a better way of doing the thing.

2018-03-28 at 8:11 PM UTCThanks magic rice for healing my water damaged phone! Yaaaay!
-
2018-03-28 at 9:30 PM UTCYeah the rice nonsense is a myth. Most important thing is to flush it with distilled water or isopropyl alcohol as quickly as possible to prevent corrosion and remove ionic substances that may form conductive pathways. Let it dry completely in open air before attempting to turn it on. §m£ÂgØL being a retard probably already fried it though.
-
2018-03-28 at 9:50 PM UTCWe can't negate the fact that rice does, in fact, have moisture absorption capabilities. We wish we could just discard the notion, like the baby with the bathwater, but we can't. Now, whether that absorption capability would assist in the recovery of the phone's functions in any way, shape or form, and to what degree, is another question entirely. Nobody knows. It will remain a mystery, lost to the annuls of time.

Freezing IDE HDDs did often work.
