Is this (another) warranty job or will it dry out over time? More importantly, isn't it supposed to be able to take the occasional splash?
Was the Aura One sitting in a puddle when you got back to it? About the only way I can as much water as you mentioned entering it.

I'd suggest turning it off and placing it in a warm dry spot for 24-48 hours and then try it again. The internal coating should have protected the onboard electronics from the water but some of the connectors are likely wet.

If this doesn't help, you should have a decent case for a warranty exchange.
