Wouldn't you know my replacement phone showed up yesterday because the seller overnighted it, my wife calls me to let me know it showed up in the morning and I talked her into bringing it to me & take both phones to the verizon store close to where I work to activate the new one.
I hang up from talking to my wife and the damn screen starts working again (I could still answer with the old phone but not call because lcd screens were dead)
Took the phone, removed the battery and covers and put all of them on the dash of my truck for the rest of the day ( VERY hot inside my truck yesterday) to let it continue drying.
Other than some slight spots on the inside screen, the phone is fine now and I end up with a close to brand new one as a spare.
