Let your phone dry out for a couple of days. Maybe you'll be lucky and it will turn on again. Make sure you remove the battery though.

Never getting another LG...my last one crapped out on me after a year and a half and so did this one (it was acting up before I dropped it in the puddle) It seems like after a while the LG batteries don't hold a charge as well as it used to.

Thats true for any rechargable battery, not just LG's.
