Had some progress today with the phone. I took it out of the rice jar and put the battery back in. It booted up and even though the face screen was fogged, you could read what was behind it. Then it started vibrating. The screen went blank and it just vibrated whenever I put the battery in the back. I tried the hairdryer a little later and the same thing happened.
My phone is old (doesn't even take photo's) and I was impatient to get back in touch with my buddies, so the wife and I rode over to the Verizon store to pick out a new phone. I keep getting messages from them that I have enough credits for a new phone, so I figured, now's a good time to upgrade.
Here's the part I love. We walked into the store and are met by a young man standing next to a computer. He asks me to sign in with my name and cell number. After I do as he requested, he says "someone will be with you soon". I thought he would help me, but no, his job is to stand next to the computer and "log" people in. So I go over to the display phones and begin to access what phone I might be interested in getting.
After about 15 minutes, I get tired of waiting, so the phone is back in the rice jar
