OT Phone Damage ... Advice?

Thank you to each who took the time to offer advice, and
sympathy!
Being no smarter than the proverbial dirt, the first thing I did
was to 'try it out!'
THEN I posted my plea and read that I should not do that. Oh
well.
We did follow some suggestions ... let it sit tilted on a towel,
with the battery out, overnight.
Then DH took it apart (he has more patience with those fiddly
things) and used a cardboard to fan it gently.
Let it sit all in pieces to dry thoroughly, then eventually put
it back together; it works!
Your help is appreciated .... PAT

Woohoo. That's great news Pat. More money to spend on fabric.

Hooray!!! Glad it works. Now you can use the money you saved by not having
to by a new phone to buy fabric. And since you said it was an *expensive*
phone... G
