After getting wet, cannot turn off DSC-P200

Camera got soaked. After drying out, camera takes great pictures - everything works except ...... When I turn off camera, it turns back on automatically. Only way to turn it off permanently is to remove battery. Replaced with new battery - same problem. Tried hitting corners of camera - no help.

Weird! Two things I'd try:
-Reset the camera via the Setup menu. I have no idea if this will work, and it probably won't, but it's always worth a shot.
-Open the battery door, remove the battery, and let the camera sit somewhere (preferably away from dust) for a day or two with the battery door open. This might help dry out anything remaining inside there.

You might also try cleaning the battery connectors inside the camera gently, with either a pencil eraser (careful to blow out/ remove any shavings it leaves) or with a q-tip. It's possible there's some corrosion or residue left on the connectors.
