The mainboard and anything else affected by the water or the WD-40, will have to be cleaned again as WD-40 is no good for cleaning water and corrosion from electronic circuit boards. It leaves conductive residues which will provide electrical circuit paths that aren’t in the operating design of the speaker that will most likely cause more damage.

The mainboard and anything else affected by the water or the WD-40, will have to be cleaned again as WD-40 is no good for cleaning water and corrosion from electronic circuit boards etc. It leaves conductive residues which will provide electrical circuit paths that aren’t in the operating design of the speaker that will most likely cause more damage.
''Do not attempt to charge or to turn on the speaker and disconnect the battery as soon as possible to minimize any further damage.''
Then you will need to disassemble the speaker and clean all affected parts again using '''Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9%+''' (available from electronics parts stores) to remove all traces of water, corrosion and any residue left by the WD-40. If there are any shields covering components they will have to be removed as corrosion may been occurring under them and will also have to be cleaned away. Also if there are any internal cable plugs etc, the connectors will have to be cleaned as well
Hopefully after you have done all this the speaker ''may'' work properly again.
