Any way to fix my phone?

Asked by OriginalCunningFox (383points) November 18th, 2015

Well, long story short my Motorolla Moto X took a short swim in the hot tub last night. I pulled it out right away and dried it off with a towel then turned it on and it seemed to be working well. That was probably a mistake because I read that you should actually turn it off and put it in rice overnight. Too late for that now lol.
The phone still works fine (using it now), except my camera doesn’t work now and sound only works with headphones :/

I’m guessing the warranty doesn’t cover water damages but I’ll have to check on that still.

I also read that you can fix water damage by soaking your phone in isopropyl alcohol. Buuut I’m really weary of trying this…sounds sketchy.

SO…does anyone have any ideas or is this a lost cause?
(Btw, the SIM tray slides out but that’s about it for pulling the phone apart. The back cover only comes off if you use like special tools.)

Thanks for any help! :)
