how to repair a pen drive which has become wet?

I also had the same prob, if your pendrive is soaked with soapy water, wash it again with clean water and keep it under the fan for atleast 4 hrs for assuring that the pendrive is completeley dry.{I also thought it could damage the pendrive, but what to do..it is already damaged}. If your pendrive is openable open it with less force and clean the chip and other parts with a cloth.I hope it works!!

a pen drive is totally sealed electrically, so you just need to shake it dry and use it as before.
