If so, take out the batteries & put it into
fresh warer. Soak it good.
THEN take it out, open up the case ( Broke anyway !)
& let it sit in a warm, dry place, with a
(~) 60 watt light bulb shining on it
Set a fan right next to it.
Turn it over every 4 hours.
Do this for a day..

Look for signs of moisture.
Then put in FRESH batteries & try it.
- Might work !!!

And Soames' earlier message:

Take out the batteries.
Look around the case &
make a small diagram of where the screws are.
Then , with the right size screwdriver, take the screws out, one by one.
Tape the screws on their corresponding place on the diagram..
Look for water. Gently soak ut up with a paper towel.
The speaker may be rusty, but aside from that, it should dry OK..

What I've done when I knocked a coffee cup over onto my keyboard was - after
washing in warm, clear water - was to put the unit either over or alongside a
central heating register and leave for 24 hoirs.
