My blackberry got wet with rubbing alcohol! What do I do?

So as it says my blackberry got wet with rubbing alcohol while I was pouring it into another container and it leaked and spilled all over my phone... I've blow dried it and I heard that it's bad to do that but I already did that and I tried to take all the moisture out but shaking it to get the alcohol out... And now it's sitting in a container with rice with the battery and sim card... Anything I can do to make it work again? And I tried turning it on and the header light turns red then shuts off then won't turn on

    You need to try Silica Gel Packets to dry out your phone. There was a good article on associatedcontent.com that explains how to dry a wet cell phone, iPods, or any electronics. You need to place your phone in a zip lock bag with Silica Gel Packets. Silica Gel will remove all the moisture from the phone and its components, something air drying will not do!

    Just Google "Silica Gel Packets" and you will find several companies selling these products. There is also a web site called: http://www.silicagelpackets.com/ that has them.
