Hai hai, couple of months ago, it was some stormy weather and was raining hard. A good friend of mine insisted we'd go through and catch our train, only to realise the rain stopped after 20 minutes.
That aside, my SE g900 was in my pocket (wearing jeans), pants completely soaked.
The next day my touchscreen wouldn't work anymore and if I didn't lock the keys, the screen stayed lit all the time.

Should I repair it? If it costs a lot, I think I should better buy a new phone. If only rain can kill my phone, I could be reckless again and break it with something else.
Or does this fall under any warranty, or can I say it just broke (without mentioning the rain)?

All I can do is: type a message (of 1 length), call and when I'm lucky, end the call. I can't answer a call.

The reason I'm doing some action about it now is because I had exams and I went on vacation.

Any help is appreciated

Went yesterday.
They didn't ask any questions, just told me they'll send it in.
I asked if i had to pay for it.
They responded touchscreen and background light hardware problem, so free.
Hurray
