I've seen an electronic watch submerged, then opened up and dried out, and it resumed working. It was not a watch built for water!

Last December, my cousin's little kid dropped a Nokia cell through a drainage grate into half a foot of clean water. We fished it out, removed the batteries, took everything apart, and left the pieces on a paper towel, after about six hours everything was observed to be dry, it was reassembled, and after a few tries, it was totally restored.

This equipment is less delicate than it would appear, because of the solidity of most quality solid state components, and the low voltages involved. When an item shorts, the danger is from the current ruining a conductive path. If that conductive path is water, the current is going through the water, not the device. To me this means that if you can dry out the device and remove any contaminents, the original conductive paths should be there, and should work. The batteries could be damaged due to the high discharge, but not always, because they might have internal resistance which limits their ability to hurt themselves.

My cousin was also pretty sure he could have returned the components and receieved a replacement, but it wasn't necessary.

good luck.
