As with any electronic device, once they get wet , they are done. You can try to let it dry for a length of time while off or try a hard reset, but I would not get my hopes up. Sorry 0  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

"what is a hard reset for the tilt??"
It resets your phone back to the factory settings. It cures most of your phone's ills. But not all and it erases any and all data on your phone that was not there when you bought it.
Press both softkeys and at the same time do a soft reset ( insert stylus into small hole in bottom next to usb port) wait for button lights to flash and prompt screen to come up, release soft keys and follow prompts. Hopefully you have a backup of all important phone info. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?
