Yesterday my wife place her phone ona worktop where there was water and drew water into the phone.

The screen went dark / blotchy and touch screen didn't work.
Could not turn the phone off without touchscreen (long button press simply power cycled it..gah)

We have placed in a bath of rice overnight but this morning phone screen is black. A power cycle brings the Honor brand splash screen then screen flickers out when OS would normally show.

I have found a usb adaptor so I can use a mouse which overcomes the touch screen issue, but now it's a black screen I have no idea what's broken (if is the rom chip or just the screen) and how to access the phone to initiate transfer to a new one. If the screen still showed I could do wireless transfer to new device, but I can't see the screen to get the necessary clicks/taps!

Any advice on pc software I could use to connect to phone via the usb or anything??
