Now that you have your iPhone taken apart, you will need to place it in the windowsill and let it dry. In my experience with drying a cell phone that had water damaged, I took my phone apart and placed it on my windshield of my car and I had luck and it worked again. There is no guarantee that this will work and you will be taking a risk by even taking your cell phone apart, but if you do not have any money or warranty and are ready to toss your iPhone out the window, this is an option to try. After about 24 hours or more depending on how saturated your iPhone is, put it back together and turn it on. Good Luck!
