I think Peccavi is right, phones don't mind water it's the battery that causes the problem. If you HADN'T replaced the battery/switched it back on then your chances of fixing it would be much greater.

Remarkable. It switches on after a washing machine cycle!

Do not waste time and money attempting to breathe new life into it - get a new one.
