Chances are it's dead.

If you pulled the battery and don't turn it on until after it dries for a couple of days you "should" be fine. It's happened to me before.... a couple of times.

put it in a bag of Rice. The Rice will suck out all the moisture.

I heard microwaving it helps. J/K do NOT microwave it. On the plus side, now you can justify a new D700
