As long as they dint get powered up, they're usually fine once they dry. Yours got powered up which is when most damage occurs. Since they come on for a second before shutting down, they're probably tripping an overcurrent protection - that would imply water still inside shorting the power out. Letting them sit isn't enough. Remove them, open the cases up, and dry them thoroughly with a hair dryer and alcohol and then try them out - it may fix the issue.
