You need to make sure all water (or anything water-based, eg beer) is gone 
before turning it on.  As soon as you get water in anything electronic rip 
the battery out immediately, otherwise the tracks on the circuit boards (and 
the glass if you have an LCD) will start to corrode very quickly.

Only after you have got rid of all the water should you attempt to put the 
battery back in and turn it on.  Using ethanol (as Bill did) is a good way 
to get rid of all the water, my suggestion was to turn it on to encourage 
any remaining ethanol to evaporate.

Sorry if that wasn't clear... I take no responsibility for anyone damaging 
anything :-)
