A crew member opened the bag, and forgot to close it. This is a wet sailboat, the bag filled with water, and the cell phone and Palm inside were submerged. Both "died." Took them apart to dry, the phone revived, but the Palm didn't. So, put it in a drawer and a couple years later, preparing to toss it out, put new batteries in it. It worked just fine. Sold it on Ebay. The voltage going through that motherboard circuitry isn't all that much. There may be no permanent damage. You could try taking it apart, and cleaning the motherboard with alcohol and/or distilled water. Dry the motherboard well, and after a couple days put it together. See what happens.
