14 Days later the Phone works well no troubles. I dry it 4 Days under Rice.

Thanks for reporting.

I do not want to be pessimistic, but corrosion may still appear (takes a bit longer). But you might be lucky!

For sure your warranty is voided, this time eligible (as Nokia tends to block a lot of warranty cases unqualified with water damage).

You need a T4 screwdriver to remove the 2 screws under the SIM holder and USB cover, and a plastic spatula to remove the screen assembly. Then you can see the battery connector, which can be unplugged with tweezers. And the phone can dry much more quickly.

If dropped in salt water, rinse in clean water. Though by the time you get it open, it might as well be battery acid.

You need to remove the housing, the battery, the sim card, the sd card.

Then drown the phone for 3 seconds under alcohol.

Remove it, then pass it over with a hair dryer. If it gets too hot to touch, then you're burning it. It should get warm, and that will remove all trapped moisture without damaging the circuitry.
