Default Broken Q - Thoughts on Repair?

A friend just dropped off their brand new Moto Q Smartphone to me for repair. It's maybe a month old - if that. The problem is it jumped out of his pocket and landed in a lot of water. Evidently, the Q thought it was a submarine. I've disassembled the device and made sure there's nothing visibly wrong. It's had time to fully dry out and there doesn't appear to be anything visually out of place. However, when I try to turn it on, the device will display the carrier logo and go no further. It just sits like that until the power is pulled.

Does anyone have any suggestions on getting it from here to working? Is it possible to hard reset the device from non-bootable state? Yes, I know it's CDMA and thus I can't just drop my SIM in and use the device. But it might be nice to have a Q in my collection. Or I could return it to my friend and he could sell it or something.
