open it up and take battery out, put it in a brown paper bag somewhere warm, on top of fire, window sil, airing cupboard etc, leave it there for at least 24 hours then try again

paper will suck up the moisture better than rice


DO NOT freeze it :S

Freezing is probably a bad idea because of the humidity. (Unless you have a freezer or cooler that uses a humidity controlled cooling unit, much like an air conditioner)

Do NOT put it near heat or a fire!(Hopefully you weren't dumb enough to do that in the first place)

Most electronics can be exposed to -20celcius before it is a problem (that is assuming there is very low/no humidity) but heat exposure is generally a bad idea for all electronics. As a rule of thumb, if it is hotter than you can withstand, then it is hotter than your devices can withstand.
