"First things first: do not try to turn it on anymore until you're sure it's completely dry. Water isn't damaging to a device, electricity is, and water reroutes electricity where it's not supposed to go.

Until you can't get it open, put it somewhere dry, possibly surrounded by silica packs or (lacking them) rice.

As soon as you can, open it carefully, remove the battery, and clean with isopropylic alchol and a microfiber cloth every trace of water. Don't use an hairdryer, at least, if you're truly in a hurry, blow only cold air, never hot air, that could be as damaging as the water.

Make sure it's clean and dry, put it back, turn it on and reassess the damage.

You may end with a damaged battery, since it got shorted out. Maybe some other sympthoms... if you want to check them by yourself, return here and describe them."

Red light flashing at startup is a ROM error, so it is possible that your main memory chip is defective because of the water. I had a similar issue and I just reinstalled the firmware given from BlackBerry website with a USB connection to my computer and BlackBerry Desktop. Works like a charm now.

"My tablet fell in water I dried it up but after a week when 1 charge was left I put it for charging and while charging I touched the screen and then it started having touchscreen problem and I wiped the data and rebooted it. But still I couldn't get the screen to work properly and after more than 2 weeks later I switched it off using the power off button and Now It Is Not Turning On.

Please help me, I can't afford a new tab and I use it for my studies. Please, please help"

Get a bowl of dry boiled rice and put your phone in for an hour or so (make sure there is no water in the rice) the rice will soak up the water and your phone will work properly again.
