11 days ago left my tablet PC on the garden table whilst trimming a plant growing up the house wall. Whilst up the ladder it started to spit with rain.... forgot about the bloody tablet!
Found it later that afternoon.... switched it on.... nothing ???
Put it in airing cupboard for a couple of days with back removed and tried the 'bag of rice ' trick. Nothing....no signs of life. A week later replaced it with new one as still no signs of life.
Yesterday, before binning it I tried one last time and the thing came to life and works fine ?
So....the purpose of posting...if you get your phone or tablet wet, don't give up too soon, you never know!

Bit of an update....the tablet worked fine for about a week then suddenly died.. :'( I found that if I removed the battery then reconnected it the boot process ran for a couple of seconds then it died. Each time i disconnect the battery and reconnect it it starts to boot then dies.
Any ideas anyone?
I have tried with two different batteries with the same outcome.
Oh... feeling like a daft twat now....the thing has just come to life with a combination of buttons pressed!!
