Water damage :-(

I've had my beloved 4150 for 2 years now, but last night I think I ruined it. I was putting on a new screen protector, which had a few drops of water on it, because I kept clearing dust and fingerprints off it. Unfortunately, I think some of that water dripped into the screen and down into the buttons, because now the Up and the Center button don't work when pushed! :( The other buttons work fine though. Is this a problem that will go away after a day or two?

Also, if I do the Self Test (under Settings), the Button test goes like this:

1. Asks me to press the Record button
2. Asks me to press the Calender button
3. Asks me to touch different points on the screen
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 forever!

I found this really weird... Anyone have an explanation? Shouldn't it just go through all the buttons?

EDIT: I realized that as a result of the water damage, the Calender button is somehow "hard-wired" to launch the Calibration application. That's why the Button test kept asking me to press that button over and over, as it wasn't getting the expected result.
