   Oh. many years ago I left a computer by an open window in Johannesburg.    
   And a thunderstorm soaked it through.   
   I simply let it dry out for a day.

   Ah, so not water then?   
      
   In such cases simply submerge the thing in reasonably fresh water.,    
   shake it a bit and leave it to dry...   
   .   
   Water doesn't harm electronics that are not switched on...
