How to fix iphone 5 lock button after water damage?

So earlier today I had dropped my iphone 5 into the toliet. Now I had just peed in the toliet.. and I grabbed the phone out asap. It was in there no longer then 2 seconds. I pulled it out, dried it off and it turned on. The only problem it had was the speakers didnt work but I found out that if you put a q tip in the headphone jack thatll fix it. So I fixed that and everything seemed to be working good. Then after about an hour I notice when I push the lock the response was delayed.. it took about 2 seconds after I hit the button for it to turn off. Then later it just totally stopped working. I cant turn on or off my iphone with using the power button on the top. Well I turned it off by going into the settings now I have it in rice. Anyone know how I can fix this? Will the rice work or is it just pretty much dead? what can I do? Thanks.

TMI (too much information - I don't want to know about your toilet activities and I guess neither does anyone else here)
you could (once the phone has dried out and you hav waited a few days and are game to turn it on) go to settings/general/accessibility and turn on assistive touch.  A little button will appar on the screen and you can drag it around if it gets in the way.  If you tap on the button then tap on device then hold the little padlock for a while it will turn the phone for you

    You need to take to a local repair store to have it repaired.
    Sorry to say this is a bad answer. Water damaged devices generally short circuit the MLB first. Sea water containing salt will be worse since salt is a good conductor of electricity, meaning, electronic components other than the MLB, if not replaced, may cause shorts and eventually brick the device or pose other severe risks, like an exploding battery.
    I'm not sure what you refer to as 'local repair store' but Apple does not repair liquid damaged devices for the above reasons. Under no circumstance will I advice this. The only (official) option is a replacement and for good reason.

  • Iphone 4s not charging after water damage and subsequent new battery

    My phone got wet in my pocket during a rainstorm last week. After drying it out it appeared fine except that the battery won't charge. It does however appear that its charging, It makes the noise when connected to the charger and the battery icon has the charging symbol next to it. I've changed the battery and the problem persists. Do you think the charging circuits have been damaged? What should my next step be?

    Unfortunately, your next step is to find a competent 3rd party repair shop or buy a new phone. Apple will not touch that one now that you opened it.
    Apple does not sell iPhone parts including batteries. The only possible sources are stolen parts, salvaged parts, or counterfeit parts.
    You are no longer eligible for the $199 out of warranty replacement.
    Missed the part where he changed the battery.

    My iPhone 4S has been frozen in the loading screen I don't know how to fix it:( my lock screen button doesn't work

    Without a working lock screen button, you'll probably have to wait for the battery to go dead.  Once it doesn't wake up by pressing the home button you can plug it into a charger and it will eventually reboot.

  • IPhone 4S lock button extreemly stiff?

    Today my iPhone 4S lock button suddenly became stiff and requires a lot more force to depress, I can't see any dirt beneath the button. Is there any fixes for this? I knocked the back a few weeks ago and its cracked on the other side, will I still be covered by warrenty if I take it to the Apple store?

    your phone will NOT be covered by warranty as it's clearly sustained accidental damage.  You can have your phone replaced for $199 ($59 if you purchased AppleCare+).  That's what Apple will offer. 
    You can try a 3rd party iPhone repair shop if you don't want your phone exchanged.
