I was pushed into my pool and I had my phone in my pocket  . I was only in the water for like 5 seconds but when i got out it didn't turn on. More than two weeks later it still doesn't work. Is there anything I can do to get it working again?

yes there is. call customer service and ask if they have "handset transfer" where they send you a new one (usally the same model but if not you get a newer model if the phone you have is discontinued) tell them you got a little water on it and now it isn' working anymore and they'll hopefully walk you through the steps of getting anew phone.

Too late. You have to remove the batteries coz some of the acids in the battery may damage the phone's electronics, and short-circuit the whole thing. That thing TOTALLY busted after 2 weex.

I work in a mobile phone repair center and see water damaged phones every day. The smallst amount of water will permantly bugger your phone. It blows the thousands of circuits on the main mother board and thus makes it beyond economical repair. no amount of drying or praying will bring it back,
Also you will only get a replacement phone if it is insured, manufacturers warranty will not cover external influences ie liquid, physical damage or tampering.
so don't get them wet unless it is insured!!

I suppose the PCB circuit won't blow unless the phone is turned on while dropped in water, or is tried to turn on while still wet. Unless the 1.3V CMOS battery is enough to blow it. 
BTW There are diods everywhere around the circuit, theese are like fuses but dont blow, its kinda hard to blow the circuit then!

Well, I think that briski80 knows what he (??? or she) is saying, coz you heard that he's working in a mobile phone repair center... And blowing a fuse doesn't only mean that it explodes

lol, a long time ago I had a Panasonic GD-52
Old crap thingy.
But don't ask what is happened with it.
It was going for a wash!
Didn't know it
lol
When I got my pants back, I saw that it was turned off.
I opened it and let it dry for 1 week,
Then turned on and it worked!!!
Don't tell how is that possible.
Really strange.
But after a few weeks I sold it and bought a Nokia 3310

Well, the circuits weren't under power, and the water could vaporize without melting (that's what happens at a short circuit) a couple of circuits together, and no problem occured. And you were also lucky that the battery didn't start to leak its acid content and short circuit yor phone that way.

I got patience with that phone and I used that time just my old Nokia 5110 (always handy for something  )
But I sold it quickly because I hated that phone.
Ugly only 5 sec voice memo and stupid ringtone.
If you compare it with the T300 then this is the differences!
99gr
108x46x26mm
standby 150 h
talktime 127minutes
101 gr
106x48x21mm
standyby 400
talktime 660minutes
Differences
T300 gots:
alarm, chat, e-mail, EMS, games, intigrated antenna, gprs, HSCSD, infrared, color screen, mms, polyphonic ringtones, stopwatch, timer, T9, wallapers, wap and a lot more!!!
GD-52 gots:
nuthin' better !!
