Water damage sony xperia z1 compact!

Hello, since this phone is waterproof i wanted to try it under water, and when i putted it under water, while all the slots were closed properly and there was also a phone cover protecting it, my phone turned off and from then it didnt switch on again also after i pressed the power button like 10 times

Force restart(power button+vol up until the phone vibrates).

i did it before and it did vibrate three times, but after few hours, when i got home and charged it, the red light (which shows its charging) came, but then it disappeared after a few seconds, i also tried to connect it by usb on my laptop, but it says that no devices are connected.

It could be water damaged.But try this first:let the phone dry some more(until tomorrow),put it in a bowl of rice.Tomorrow charge it for about 2 hours and try a repair with SUS:

i just found out that a bit of water entered in the memory card slot, and how can a bowl of rice help in this case? i mean the water is probably inside the phone and the rice cant get inside and etc.. and i dont even know how to open this phone, like taking out the battery and stuff
