    Unfortunately I suspect the damage has been done. You should not have tried to dry it as quick as possible and then turn it on. You should have taken it apart and then straight into the bowl of rice or by a radiator or something like that.


    You shouldn't even try and turn it on until you're absolutely sure that all of the water is gone from the inside as if there is any left it will probably shortcircut.
