A client's smartphone was accidentally immersed in water and no longer responds to touch input, although the display is still functioning. After powering off the device and ensuring it's not connected to a power source, what is the next BEST step to minimize damage and begin resolving the issue?
Dry the surface of the device with a hairdryer on a cool setting to evaporate the moisture.
Remove the battery from the device, if accessible, to prevent any further potential electrical damage.
Store the device in a sealed bag of rice to absorb moisture.
