[NTLK] HELP! MP2100 got wet... what do I do?

Okay, silly me... I took my MP2100 to a bar last night and knocked my
drink over on it. I immediately wiped it off completely and turned it on,
and everything worked fine. I breathed a sigh of relief and ordered
another drink.

When I got home and turned it on, the screen had rows of horizontal lines
running through the display. The unit works fine... but there's 1 pixel
lines on the LCD that run the complete width of the display, spaced about
10 pixels apart. They make the screen look like lined paper.

So I took everything out... the flash card, the battery, the stylus,
opened the access door and lid, and let it sit overnight. No luck.

Is it fried, or can someone tell me what's wrong & how to fix it? The
battery is out right now, so should I continue to let it sit in hopes
that it's just wet and it'll dry out and work properly in a day or two?

I'm freaked. Help!

TIA
Mike
