I spilled water in the cable box?

I just spilled a maybe a teaspoon of water on my cable box. It immediately shut off and won't respond to the remote or being plugged in. Is it completely shot?

I don't see how putting it in rice will work with this. The top of the box is a perforated grate to prevent overheating, so all I will end up with is a cable box with half-cooked rice in it.

    Be more careful with the replacement.

    Put it in your freezer for a couple of days. When you take it out, leave it at room temp for a day before plugging it in. If that doesn't work it's fried.

    You need to get it checked out professionally but its probably gone.
