Can SK Electronics fix a cell phone that got wet?

We are most successful in fixing water damage if you bring in your phone ASAP with the battery removed and uncharged to prevent the chance of corrosion destroying the circuitry. Although it's commonly used, rice does not appear to be a successful method of removing water from a cell phone in our experience.
