Wet iPhone 5s

My old iPhone 5s was left out in ☔️ overnight … 😱


Its taken a recharge & spent Spent 24 hrs in bag of silicone sachets … …

…… sort of working

BUT

There is still ‘moisturiser’ 💧 in it as in different places the screen is ‘all weird’ ( damp inside I’m guessing )


Im going 2 try down uploading all pictures & back it up today …


I haven’t dared take out sim & battery yet incase it stops working totally !!


Anyone any helpful hints or thoughts ?

iPhone 5s, iOS 12
