Dropped my cable release into water, any hope?

I have it drying in my garage right now.  It stopped working right away.  I'm wondering is there hope, or shall I order another one now so I don't have to wait long?

If a simple mechanical CR, dry and should be ok.

If a passive electric, the same: dry & use.

If active: remove battery + disassemble, dry well.
Recharge the battery, reassemble and hope for the best.

This happened to me 4 years ago.  I followed the instructions and put it in a baggy of rice.  It worked, but the screen had a part of it that didn't work and the buttons stuck often.

You're better off buying a new one.  I doubt that will work.  If it does,  there will likely be something not working correctly on it.  How long was it in the water?
