If you can not take the unit apart to dry it out then open the battery door and remove the SIM and mini-SD if present. I am assuming the battery is still out. Then use a fan to blow air in through the open door. Use tape to hold it open if you need to. Let the fan run for a day or two before you try to re-install the battery. You may be able to do further disassembly before using the fan to dry it out. I think you may be able to remove the plastic part at the top (where the camera is). Just do as much disassembly as you can so it will dry out better.

Then, take a deep breath, say a prayer or do whatever you do for good luck, install the battery and try to turn it on. May the Force be with you...

I once took my Dopod U1000 for a snow trip and it was in my cloth-based belt pouch throughout the 5 hour heavy blizzard and it was dripping with water when I returned to the restaurant. I turned it on and used it without any problem. The next day this happened again, and still I was able to use it without any problem. For the next three days I wore the belt pouch inside my ski suit rather than outside.

I hope you are as lucky as me.

I have a good idea. Why don't you wash the unit with detergent. Detergent can always remove coffee. However if you have a dish washer you can place your unit inside it. One important thing to note is that don't use hot water as it might melt the screen.

If the unit does not startup it usually means its wet inside. What you do is put it in the oven for half an hour. After cooking it, you may even end up with a newer rom. If all else fails, keep trying. It will work one day.

I had the same prob with Eten M500 i put it in a bucket of rice for a week. I took all piecis a part and now its working great! take out the battery and the miniSD card adn then put them all + the device in a bucket of rice. I hope it works

Dry rice should work. Or kitty litter... unused.
