What can we do if a version that has no resistance is wet?
The first thing is dry them very carefully Using a soft cloth, don't leave fluff. Do not try to accelerate the process with dryers or direct heat, because you could worsen the situation.

Leave them there at least one day, Without trying to turn them on or load them. If after that they continue to fail, the most sensible thing is to contact Apple's support. Remember that, unless you have Apple+, water damage is not usually covered by the guarantee.
