If it's not electrically broken, there is a big chance to save it ...

open it, and wash it using hand shower and some brushes until it
is clean (the best is massage hand shower - do not worry about
higher pressure)

if used water is "hard" i.e. mineralized (mostly yes) I recommend
to rinse it in demineralised/destilated water (probably u can buy
it on petrol stations - it's used to refill electrolyte in lead
accumulators)

then left it minimum 24 hours opened on free air until u are 100%
sure it's dry everywhere
(some devices can be left on direct sun, but LCD's or ACCU's do not
like it very much)

in the rest close and test it

HTH, noro

PS.
I use this procedure to clean PC's of dust - it's fast, comfortable
and easy.
