I've dropped my Iphone6 down the toilet.

I have dropped my Iphone 6 down the toilet. It was there for 2seconds before I pulled it out.

I then dried it off, and It was working fine for a minute. The screen then went blue, to green to then yellow.

Then it went black, however I could still hear my notifications. I then tried turning it off and on again and it worked for again a minute then went off.

Now it won't switch on. I have researched this on google and the main cure seems to be the rice method. I have put my phone in a container with rice in it.

Also, I've noticed that Iphones have a LCI indicator which dictates whether your phone has been in contact with water. This indictor is meant to turn red, however mine hasn't. I'm a little confused and really just want to get my phone working again as soon as. Please help. Thank you.

iPhone 6, iOS 8

Turning it on and off again after dropping it into water must have damaged the phone even more. You'll have to pay for a replacement, since water damage it not covered by the warranty.
