Too bad I cant physically be there to help you. Unfortunately the store tech is correct, water damage is not covered by warranty, you need to just replace the phone wether a week or a year old. Take the phone to a third party tech and see if they can give it an alcohol bath it may give u a temporary fix but with no guarantees, enough to get your info out and saved to a pc or transfered to another phone. I fixed quite a few this way but it is a delicate procedure and not too many techs out there who are brave enough to do the procedure. Good luck.
