How did it get water damage? Cold water or hot water?

How long did you leave it plugged in?
Was it plugged into the wall or a computer?
If less than 24 hours, plug it back in.
Then unplug it and hold the power button for at least 40 seconds.

As to water damage and a kindle, unfortunately yes. My K3 didn't survive.
