If an elctronic unit gets west, you must not turn it on until you are absolutely sure it is all dried out. If you do that, the odds are pretty good that it will still work. If you didn't wait until it was dry, the odds are excellent that damage was done.

I should also add that the computer was in Stand by mode when it got wet, it was found off.Is there a reset switch like the old computers used to have?What most likely shorted out?
