Personally I think the disassembly thing is overkill (might be
overkill...)
I would just eject all cards, and available batteries, open all doors
and allow the newton to sit in a warmish spot for a couple of days or
as long as you can hold out.
Then try putting the battery back in and give it a whirl.
Of course it's probably BETTER to do as David instructs, but I am
betting a little water and the above wouldn't hurt a Newton too badly.

PS with regard to alcohol the purer the better I guess...
