it's still worth a shot, as opposed to plunking down $600 for a new phone since you hurled yours into an electrolyte fishbowl

OP was a big dumb idiot and left the phone turned on while he dried it the last time, or maybe it was one of those dumb phone designs where you can't actually remove the battery. The actual damage comes from electrical shorts and poo poo, which can melt or burn out parts of the circuit board.

Drying it out now would be about as effective as smashing into a burnt-down house and replacing the fire alarm batteries.
