You probably fried the board when connecting current to it while wet. Now let's just hope that it didn't actually harm the board. If it happened recently, try to open it up and put the motherboard in an oven at about 80 degrees C.

If it happened many hours or days ago, the oxidation process could already have started and then it would require a ultrasonic wash of the motherboard.

So, try to dry it out as quick as possible to prevent corrosion.
