It's highly probable the device is fried. If you didn't remove the battery in time or put the battery back before it was good and dry, then it's FUBAR. See http://blackberryfaq.com/index.php/G...ckBerry_Wet%3F. But once you are sure it is dry take a look at Is your BlackBerry Nuked? - BlackBerryFAQ. It isn't going to hurt to give it a try.

I removed battery immediately and let it dried in a warm car for 4 hrs. I inserted the battery and the problem started. Anytime i plug a charger it does the same thing. Pls any method that can help?

It is likely dead. You can try removing the battery and putting the BlackBerry in a sealed bag of rice for several days.

Take NJBlackberry's advice. Rice does wonders.

The rice may work but my hope is that you have insurance

Good advice, and of course if it doesnt work afterwards, you have always got a meal to eat!
