think my reader is dead :( any advice please.

Hi everyone,

On Friday night my husband spilt a small amount of white wine over the buttons of my reader. It was turned off at time, so we left it to dry. Next day we turned it on and screen was fine, but buttons didn't work...

I took it apart and left it in rice till yesterday afternoon (my dad did this with his mobile and it worked!) I put it back together and it seemed fine last night, but then I noticed it had used 3/4 of the battery in an hour. Went to plug it in to charge this morning (via usb on laptop) and its just showing home page (books by date etc) with a exclamation mark in middle of screen....reset does nothing, and I tried removing battery and still the screen is showing!

The red light on top is lit, but computer not recognizing usb connection (nothing shows in my computer.) Cannot do hard reset as nothing is working, its just frozen, has been plugged into usb for approx 2 hours now....

Is it dead - any opinions or advice very grateful!
