If it doesn't show up when you connect it to a computer, you may be out of luck.

Did you dry it out? If not, immediately turn it off and put it in a plastic bag full of rice. This will help pull any moisture out of it.

After you leave it in this bag for 3 or 4 days, THEN try to turn it on and plug it into your computer.

I helped fix a iPhone that went in the washer the other day... Hold the home button and the sleep button at the same time until you see the apple logo see if that works. Tell me how it goes. But did you take off the back at all?
