Well, yesterday I did tip them around and a couple of drops came out...so I let them sit over night. This morning I opened them all and saw they were absolutely dry inside. So I powered them up. Here are the results:
Plus #1: Perfect
Plus #2: Perfect (unless you count yellowing as bad)
Plus #3: Stops at RAM Test Screen. I let it sit for about 5 minutes but no luck.
Plus #4: No Video
(all SE's have 2 floppy drives and no hard drives)
SE #1: Top floppy drive repeatedly goes in then comes out...it doesn't stop.
SE #2: Scrambled Video as soon as powered on. (I whimped out and turned it off right away)
SE #3: Sad Mac: 00000004
0000DB6D
I'm going to look up the Sad Mac code right now. But do you have any ideas as to how I can get the non-working Macs working?
These had sat through a rainstorm in a dumpster...I felt sooo bad for them when I passed that I had to take at least some. There were still more in the dumpster!!! I wanna go back and get more, but my mom won't appreciate it (she appreciates NOTHING I do to fix these Macs)
Thanks, Ian

Then turn on at the wall socket after turning on on the Mac. At worst, you'll blow a fuse in your house. That's all you risk by trying!
I strongly disagree, you'll risk sending 5 volts from a pin that is supposed to have it, down other pins/traces that are not supposed to have it, and risk frying all kinds of stuff. Anywhere where there is a water bridge. Not to mention water in the power supply.
As long as the water was mostly clean, once it dries all should be fine. I'd take the lids off, put them on top of the 'frig or somewhere warm with some air movement (got a fan?) and wait a couple weeks.
Good luck.
yah, powering wet electronics up, will indeed use up some of your life store of luck.
