The apple icon appears every 15 seconds but the iPhone never boots. What does this mean?

The iphone 3GS was in an otter box--in a pocket--and went in a mudbath for a couple of minutes.  Yes, really.  None of the water sensors turned pink on the phone and now, two days later, the apple icon pulses on and off every 15 seconds when the phone is hooked into a USB cable to charge.  What does this mean and what should I do?

It looks as if there's a problem with your GPU. With a Retina machine, that would mean replacement of just about everything, except, perhaps, the flash storage drive.
Print you kernel panic when you go to your Apple Store appointment. I'm betting that it's a faulty GPU but they will be able to diagnose exactly where the problem lies.
Good luck,
Clinton
