fried external western digital

Hi,
     I finally did it. After working on computers since 1978, I finally managed to spill a coke all over my desk, keyboard, and on the floor next to my desk, and, my older generation Western Digital external drive. It had a screened top, and it wasn't until later that I realized the coke spilled over the side and seeped into the disk drive. surprise! it no longer works. Any suggestions?


Please help.

Thanks!

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
