Need help to repair A&K 70 portable audio player that drowned in water

Wharfedale Denton Anniversary Speakers
Update: I left it in its box with the back opened (Thanks @mbhangui ) in a bed of silica desiccant bags as suggested by @MasTerasTrix over a year.
I remembered it today, put it to charge and after a few hours turned it on
And….
IT WORKS!!!
I am delighted to put it mildly.
Thank you so much guys. Your suggestions were spot on even if I forgot about it for a year.
This is a great example of an online forum full of helpful and knowledgeable people.
 
Update 2.
While the battery charges up, it doesn’t hold the charge for more than a few hours.
After fully being charged and switched off it is fully discharged next day.
Don’t know why or how.
Any suggestions?

A&K want me to send it to Seoul to check and replace battery.
Possibility of being charged customs duty again on top of the shipping costs, repair and parts replacement is concerning.

Ask them to mail you a battery replacement marked under "repair/replacement" valued $5.
Get it changed from your local technician

At this point, since it’s an old device, getting a replacement battery is the most cost effective solution. If there is no other issue other than the battery, just try DIY route to replace the battery. The battery can be unplugged and plugged easily
