walt, the very first thing I would do, is to clean the complete phone, disassembled of course, with high grade isopropyl alcohol. Use [guide|10161|this guide] to work on your phone, and check [http://www.ifixit.com/Wiki/Electronics_Water_Damage|on here] about general cleaning. This [guide|5825|great guide] shows how to clean an iPhone, but all the points are still pertinent to your phone as well. Replace the battery after cleaning and see what you get. Hope this helps, good luck
