Daughter’s android phone got dropped into a lake. I took off the back, battery and SIM card and vacuumed the speaker, headphone jack and any other hole that could retain water for about 3 minutes and it’s like nothing ever happened.

NOT TO TURN IT ON OR CHARGE don´t even know what was I thinking T.T

Does not work. If the phone is on, the damage is done is seconds and the drying does not remove the board and component corrosion. Today's Electronics, BGA chips are x5 smaller then thru-hole tech from 1970's. There is little metal to sustain any minor damage. Think of tissue paper as your front door.
