Hello. Two days ago my phone fell 2m deep into the pool, after 5 min we managed to take it out (its winter). I turned the phone off instantly and put it in rice for 48h but as most know that doesn’t achieve much.
Two days later since the incident, I connected the phone to a power cable and it turns on, appears to be functional as well. However, there’s notable water in the display and a few water drops inside the camera lenses.

So I have a few questions…
1) Should I keep the phone 100% off until there is no noticeable water, or could it be safe to use after a certain period even if there’s moisture in the screen/camera lenses?
2) Is it worth to try a DIY fix, considering the phone still looks alive? Does the fix require components to be replaced or simply drying? In case I take it to (unofficial) repair shop I’d like to know what to expect.
