Forget the rice, if you have an air conditioning unit, or space heater. Place the device in front of the a/c or heater until the internal components are dry. Depending on the type of device, you see electronic devices have circuit boards and electrical components with engineered paths for the electrical current to flow when it is run through them. Droplets of water bridge the gaps between the wires and conents causing arcs and shorts, thus burning out parts and causing problems. When you said the device would not turn on it sounds like you tried to turn it on whennit was wet, if so you may have already caused damage, but we won’t know until you completely dry it out and try it again. To be safe dry it out for 24–36 hours then put the battery back ina try it agin, hopefully you backed up all of the data from the device on a regular basis beforehand. Otherwise your screwed in that sense, if it doesn’t work after you dry it, contact your equipment insurance company through your service provider.
