iPod Water Damage, working but with problems, what should I do?

    OK so my iPod fell into the toilet and anyway I went through the whole rice thing and then turned it on a few days later. Now it's mostly fine but parts of the screen is unresponsive as in I can't type the letters N or U it'll type the letters next to it. The LCD screen itself is a bit (how do I describe it. . . ) off colour, now I know it's hard to tell what it is when it comes to water damage but do you think it'd be worthwhile replacing the LCD screen and the digitizer?

    What model ipod touch is it?
    them marks are water marks between the backlight and the lcd, the only way to fix it is to replace the lcd.
    the digitizer problem is caused by the digitizer connector not making full contact.
    If I was you i'd remove the digitizer and see if there is any corrosion on the logicboard(motherboard), and give it and the digitizer connector a clean too

    Don't do anything, i had the exact same thing with my iPhone and it dried out after a week of use, works perfectly well. the heat in my pocket was enough to dry it out and now everything is back to normal.
