It could be a couple of days, maybe even two. Because we're in a tropical area where things dry out quickly—about 12 to 16 hours after being soaked in water in a room without air conditioning. But honestly, who would think that running a computer or any electronics with water is safe? It works as a cleaning method once it's fully drained, but it can also ruin them when they're turned on again.
It wasn't harmful at all—it was just a standard spray bottle, leaving the substance in fine particles or tiny drops. You handled it promptly. I don’t expect lasting effects this time, but I’ll make sure to avoid it again.
It seems the device isn't working because you didn’t connect USBs or peripherals. It’s unclear if powering it on will fix the issue, or if residual water in USB ports could be causing the problem.
Do you own an air duster? It could be useful to unplug them and give them a brief cleaning to confirm. If not, simply unplug them and check for moisture—if none is present, you should be all set.
