i dont think theres a way to fix that, sorry.
you should have waited about a week before turning it on so it dried off, because water+electricity=disaster

Go buy a screwdriver, if it works, it would be much cheaper than buying a new PSP

Yeah you can send a keyboard through a dishwasher and as long as it drys fine before you turn it back on it will be okay. Now I am not suggesting that you send your PSP through the dishwasher I am just saying theres hope. Now you may have possibly short circuited your motherboard. But as one member suggested let it sit in some uncooked rice for a while as the rice will pull all the moisture off the parts.

When you turned it back on, you fried some circuits. So try drying now won't work.
#1: 2.81 -> 3.03 -> 3.11 DoH (no more :D)
#2: 1.00 -> 1.5 -> 3.03oe-c
#3: Ceramic white 1.5 -> 3.03oe-c -> 3.40oe
Whatever happens, happens...

LOL!
I think a good way to go would be those desicant packs found in so many food products (the back that says: DO NOT EAT!!!)
#1: 2.81 -> 3.03 -> 3.11 DoH (no more :D)
#2: 1.00 -> 1.5 -> 3.03oe-c

If you have no rice try bread,newspaper, paper towels, kleenex or just plain hot dog/hamburger buns.

Don't try anything else. Go buy yourself a pack of rice for $2 or borrow some from a neighbor. Remember you want the entire PSP to be covered.
And while I am telling you how to do this I am 98% sure that you fried your PSP when you tried turning the power on while it was still wet.

Also for future reference, whenever you drop electronics in water, take out the battery IMMEDIETLY. Dry it, and it should be fine.
