    i hope you turned it off immediately... take it apart and let it dry completely before you even try to turn it back on.. you might luck out.. i dropped my old one in a puddle a few years ago... still works

    it was in my sweatshirt front pocket. turned around to sit and it flew out and perfect shot in the porcelain gateway.

    took it out supa fast. like less than a second i'm sure. and took the battery off and shit... kinda dried it a little. tried to turn it on and nothing

    took it completely apart and plugged it in the charger and it works. just weird colors on the inside screen and some buttons don't work or others work too much lol.


    its sitting in front of the space heater right now lol.

    The best thing to do is just take it out. Turn it off immediatley. Take parts off and let dry for at least 24 hours before turning it on. No electrical part can fry if electricity is not running to them. So if you leave it off till the water is gone you can save it. I have saved 3. 2 in the toilet just like you described and 1 in a swimming pool, i had to jump in to get it in the cold weather. lol
