Check your capacitors. Blown capacitors could cause exactly these symptoms and are relatively easy to replace.
Guten Tag CHI-Town!!! Yeah, been over the board a number of times, looking for ANYTHING that could be hosing it...
Your welcome to take a look yourself. Mr. Scott was thrown off by my poor photo-journalism, and the following ones linked here aren't that much better when you zoom in:eek:

Isn't that just a link to Mr. Scott? (Don't see any photos...)
 
Whether it was water... or the battery... or whatever... the only thing that I can think of that would really stop that board from booting, besides bent pins... would be blown capacitors. Because water on your board wouldn't be the real problem... water leading to blown capacitors would be the problem. Lets say that battery completely exploded... little battery like that wouldn't cause much damage to such a big board... but it might short a capacitor. So I would check that or check the blocks for leaks. Continuous water would also stop it from booting.
