Tam Alden, your options are really limited here. Instead of using a hairdryer to try to dry it out, you should have disassembled it and cleaned it properly. that means isopropyl alcohol and a brush to get rid of all the contaminants. The continuous turning on most likely shorted out multiple components on the board. So, unless you experience in trying to find out where the short is and the to source the new components and microsoldering, there is not a whole lot you can do. At least you could try and find some obvious damage by removing the board and cleaning it.
