Spilt water on iPhone screen wont work please help

So I spilt water all over my iPhone 4s yesterday, by the time I realized this the phone looked dead, I immediately took the case off, tried to dry it off and then stuck it in a bag of rice. can still get texts and phone call, be cause I can hear it ringing and vibrating, but the screen is completely dead I can not answer or even turn it off. Is there any hope? should I just keep it in rice longer and see if that works (its been about 24 hours)? how much does it cost to get the screen fixed?

My iPhone is not eligible for warranty service. What are my service options?

Apple offers two service options for iPhones that are not eligible for warranty service.

Battery Replacement Service
If your iPhone requires service due to the battery’s diminished ability to hold an electrical charge and it is not covered under Apple's warranty, an AppleCare service contract or statutory consumer rights, Apple will service your iPhone for a service fee. For more details, please refer to the Battery Replacement Service information. You can also contact your carrier (except AT&T and Virgin Mobile) for more information.

Out-of-Warranty Service

If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.

iPhone model	Out-of-Warranty Service
iPhone 5	$229
iPhone 4S	$199
iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, Original iPhone	$149

A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax.

When setting up out-of-warranty service, Apple will request credit card pre-authorization for the maximum service fee listed above. This amount will be deducted from your credit limit. The final service fee we charge will be determined during testing and may be less than the service fee listed above.

Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPhone that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.

Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. iPhones that are repaired or replaced have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare service contract coverage, whichever is longer. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.
