The question is did it go into saltwater?

If it did the thing to do is to submerge it in fresh water and rinse the corrosive salt water out ASAP. And that means to throughly irrigate it many times to try and make sure every last drop of salt water is diluted out of it.

Then it stands a much better chance or repair.

I dropped a cell phone into the toilet once. I took the battery out and thoroughly rinsed both of them in the basin for a few minutes. A strip down and light vacuum of the speaker, microphone and battery. Then left them on the window sill in the sun for the day. Assembled and it fired up as good as new.

Isopropyl alcohol is also good to dilute the water out provided there are no critical or expensive parts that won't tolerate IPA.
