My phone Nokia 3230 got wet in the rain. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whenever i insert the battery my phone stars to vibrate continiously, :confused: and there is no display even when i try to turn the phone on.:mad:

So i have removed the Battery, Sim and the Memory Card. I could not remove anythig else. Is there a way to remove the panel.

The first thing you should have done is remove battery and keep it in sunlight for drying. Powering any electronic device in such condition will cause short circuit and damage the device.

Anyway, do it now and hope for the best.
