I had this Problem with a Sony Walkman a few years ago, it fell off my belt into Seawater. I picked it up and it wouldnt play so when i got Home took Batteries out and Flushed it under the Tap and after shaking out the water left it to Dry for a couple of Days.When i tried it with the Original Batteries it did not work so i threw them out and used fresh Batteries it worked a treat .I had no Problems afterwards with the Walkman and continued to use it for a few years after. I eventually lost it on Holidays in Bruge in Belgium it was quite Battered and old by this stage.
The Seawater is Corrosive so its importent that none remains ,it had a bad Effect on the Batteries. I would give it a Flush out with Fresh Water and after drying use fresh Batteries. Good Luck.

remove the battery, and put it in a the airing cupboard (the phone...) or somewhere warm for a few days.. then retry with battery in.. although as you already tried to fire it up when soaked it may be scrap.. claim on your house insurance... a puddle is much like a bath if you see what i mean...

Let it dry out completely before you try to use it again.
