my poor axim...

alright so it got a little wet, and so i spent the last hour or so with a hair dryer drying it off. When i turned it back on, the screen was WAY WAY too white. So i fooled with it, and did a few hard resets, and was able to get it to go back to normal colors. When it said to tap the screen to begin, it wouldn't let me. So i messed with it some more. Then finally i got it to work. Now, all of the buttons seem to be berserk. It thinks im pressing the buttons, but im not. Also, when i do press a button, it doesn't do what its supposed to...so can someone please help my poor axim! (btw im pretty sure i dryed it off real well so...yeah XD)

You have to open the case, remove everything and ensure that there is no water anywhere.
Good luck.

Remove the battery and let it dry slowly in a warm dry place. Running it wet will cause/increase corrosion and lead to problems later.

If it was salt-water (it's probably too late but), take it apart and wash it thoroughly in distalled water.

Something along the lines of let it dry out for a couple of days before powering on. Open up the case get rid of extra water, possibly clean up any corrosion on the board. Will still have trouble down the road...
