Pokewalkers fell in the water sounds are working but no display
can it get fixed
There are several things that could have happened when the water entered the circuitry. First off, don't keep trying to turn it on! Remove the batteries. Take as much of the casing around the display as you can without damaging it further. Then place the circuit board and display either in direct sunlight or under a lamp. You need a lamp that has a regular light bulb, not a phosphorescent or LED bulb, and you need to get the bulb close (about a foot or so) to the game. Do not use a heat lamp! What you are trying to do is evaporate any water still in the game console, but you don't want to melt anything. Hopefully the water didn't blow any of the components and didn't wash the liquid crystal in the display away. You may need to leave it under the lamp for quite a while. You can't rush this by adding more heat, you'll only cook the poor thing if you try. Hopefully that will allow it to operate normally. Otherwise, something in the circuits shorted out or blew when you were testing to see if it still worked.
Hope that helps.
