Yesterday I found my kindle on the desk with blank screen. I didn't realize what's going on, so I tried to turn it on. But nothing happened. The screen and the power light didn't react. Then I plugged it to my pc and the yellow light turned on for about ten seconds. But the screen was still blank.

At night one of my friends told me he dropped my kindle in the water and he didn't tell me right then! I'm a bit angry, but what can I do?

Then I took it apart. I took the battery off and put it back. The green light turned on for about 10 seconds and nothing happened.

So, what can I do to save my kindle? Any one with good ideas?
