A family member has dropped an iPhone into water and she got it out as fast as she could the phone was turned off but she tried to turn it on so the circuits could be shorted how could I fix this if I wanted to give it a go myself?

The worst thing you can do after dropping a phone in water is turn it on. It should be left to dry for a week or 2 before even touching it (the time depends on the extent of the water damage). At best the logic board is fried which will mean you 'll need a new logic board which are seriously difficult to source, and when you do find one it'll be pretty pricey! your talking around 60-80 quid!
