Hello everyone, I dropped my iphone 5s in the water and after I put it in a bag of rice for 2 days. When I first openned it everything was fine but the day after the screen went completly black. It still works because I'm able to plug it in my computer and with Quicktime player to see the screen and use it and all. So the touch screen still works but it's all black. I've tried everything about restarting the device but nothing worked I even restored it. Anybody know what to do?? thanks!

Liquid damage seldom ends well.
Rice is just something to make YOU feel good, and you would get a better result from rice if you cooked it and got some nutrition out of it. Rice helping to remove water is, unfortunately, just a myth.
Unlikely that the screen is bad, but the logic board likely is bad, and the connections inside.
Best bet now - replace your iPhone.
