I dropped my Pixel 4a in water, then turned it back on too soon. It turned itself off, then got very hot to the touch. I used metal to act as a heat sink until it cooled down. After that, it went into a zip lock bag of rice. I ended up wrapping the bag of rice in a heating pad on low on and off for a few hours at a time until no condensation showed in the forward camera (a little over 2 days). Plugged the phone in to charge, and nothing. won't power up. no sign of life.
Is it worth trying to replace the battery, or are the electronics fried? I took the screen off, all looks normal. I don't have the correct bit to check any deeper in the phone. Help!
