Carefully take it apart, wash it in warm water - and if necessary lightly agitate with a toothbrush. Dry what you can with some absorbent kitchen roll and then carefully dry the remainder of the moisture with a hair drier. Success is generally pretty good - unless you've barbecued the main chip!!

You can try to dismantle it and dry it out, but this is a less than 50/50 chance it will work again, 2 you can try and get a new one but they are normally expensive, 3 buy one that can replace it a simple one or a 1 in 4 or 1 in 6 etc, 4 you can go to old way of getting up to change the channels

I let it dry and it worked again after a few days.

Television set is produced to the lowest common denominator - i.e., the common IQ of everyone, whereas a book is written to the highest common denominator

open it up and rinse it out with water, let dry, without allowing any corrosion or rust to occur on the little metal things inside, put in some fresh batteries and try her out. The same thing happened to my digital scale and that fixed it fine.

Well, spill some milk on it too, then sell it to StarBucks and buy a new one with the money.
