Yes I agree you need the hard reset. Is your iphone previously jailbroken? if that;s the case it is maybe still tethered.
Hold the power and home button in together! - HARD RESET
SOURCE: after dropping iphone in water phone is able to charge
Although the rice concept is a good idea, it is unlikely that it has aided in the evaporation of all moisture in the unit. I have fixed a number of 'dropped in water' devices (incl an IPOD nano) and I have followed the same process:
- take the unit apart
- remove battery, clean bat and charging terminals
- remove any connector (document where necessary) and leave out in open air to dry (or use a hair dryer on low setting / under a lamp).
- clean all connectors with rubbing alchohol.
In your case, pay close attention to the cable that supplies the screen and make sure the male and female ends are dry and clean. Also locate the backlight and see if there is any moisture around it.

Broken dock connector or logic board. If Apple doesn't replace it for you, you can find parts on Ebay or at iPhone 3GS Repair and there is a guide that shows you how to put in the part at iPhone Repair Guide.
