    might be a bit late to try drying it out, but you could give it a go, either in a tupperware box of rice overnight or with one or two of the little silica packs that come with most electronic equipment.

        Don't use rice, it's a waste of time & can cause more damage to the board.

        Open the phone up & look for water damage. Any damage will have to be cleaned with IPA (99.9%) and dried with a hair dryer.

        Don't use IPA on the display, digitizer, speaker, earpiece or mic. Also, don't heat up the speaker, earpiece or mic with the hairdryer.

        If you're lucky it might work when you get it back together. But it might need the software flashing & I don't know the process for ZTE phones.

          3: Your total contribution to this forum, bordering on trolling, seems to have been a collection of snipes, one liners & asterisked expletives

            Never ever use rice and silca gel packs... Good gosh!!!
            When you boil the rice the taste will definitely be tainted possibly even poisonous.
