do not turn it on, that will create a short and that won't be good at all

You do not ever truly power off an IOS device. As long there is power in the battery, there is current flowing somewhere in the device. The power button is a "soft" button and never really fully removes power like a light switch.


The advice to not power on is still valid as the more circuits that are not active the better your chances of recovering the device. But sadly those chances are not real high.
