OK, first thing is any liquid but pure water is corrosive. Second is any liquid is conductive.
Powering up a wet device is almost certain to cause things to conduct that should not. Sometimes, just letting them sit for days will dry it out and it will work again. Other times, the power up when wet will destroy them.
If the liquid is corrosive, coke, salt water, etc. they must be immediately totally rinsed out with fresh water and agitation and thoroughly dried. If the liquid dries on there it will corrode things and kill the device.
