Extremely weird water damage problem?!

[cellmate75]

So I got my phone a little wet and the only thing that is wrong with it is that it thinks it has headphones it. Obviously I got some water in the headphone jack but how do I fix it? All the sounds work when I actually plug headphones in but when I take them out there is no sound, and when I hit the volume rocker it says "(Headphones)"
Help??

Fix it? You don't... the water created a short circuit inside the electronics of the phone. You're outta luck.

Poseidon you almost made me lose, but I decided to play with it a little. I got a needle and stuck it in the headphone jack and you wouldn't believe the lint that came out! I think the water clogged it up or something.. And then I got a blow dryer and put it on a low setting and did that for about 30 second and turned it on. Now it works!

That'll work lol. Honestly though you should probably never use a blow dryer unless it's on cool not heat, bc the heat even on low can cause parts to melt. Luckily you didn't damage it more

lol you couldn't have gotten any luckier
