It's the short-circuiting that the water causes that typically damages electronics, not the water itself. If you leave the device off, and unplug the battery (if possible), then let it dry COMPLETELY, there's a much better chance it will be ok.



Non-removable battery.

Infact... non-removable everything. If in a few days its still not working, then I think Ill just replace it.

Right, but if you leave it off, it would have mostly the same effect.

I'd give it about 3 days.

I'll echo putting it in a container of uncooked rice for a few days. If it's ever going to work again this should do the trick. I flipped a kyak in a river with my cell in my pocket. It was underwater for minutes. Rice saved the day. Good luck.

He turned it on after dropping it in the water. Odds are, he fried some of the hardware.
There's a slim possibility that he didn't, but he probably did.
