Since the battery is not removable, it is not easy to fix this one. Also, the hard disk can be damaged if moisture makes it way inside the drive. Best thing is to dry it out as quickly as possible. Try to get it in a warm and dry location asap and keep air moving over it. Not too hot like the dashboard of a car in the sun but maybe outside in the sun would work. Don't try to turn it on until you know it is dried out. Then charge the battery and see how that goes. If it looks OK then try to start it up again. If you can figure out how to take it apart that would be the best way to dry it out and get the battery disconnected while it is drying out. I don't know how to open this model. If someone does, please post the method.
