My gut reaction was option 2.
I'd tend to 1, as long as you didn't try to turn it on somewhere it didn't work.

Consider as an analogy drenching something electronic. If it's not powered when you did it and dries out before you turn it back on, usually not a problem.
If it is on when you soak it, it could be 3 or 4. The electronics usually (though not always) damages itself when shorting out, how explosively it does so depending on the power levels involved.
