Most cameras with retractable lenses are very sensitive to grit (sand, dirt, salt etc.) in the lens mechanics and will shut themselves off if everything is not perfect. It's possible some salty water remained in the works and left a salty residue when it dried out.
Unfortunately, most repair shops will charge you almost what the camera is worth to properly clean it and it is not a job for the do-it-yourselfer.
Seriously....you took it apart!...and now you want to get inside to clean the condensation off the lens!!! STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING!!! DON'T KEEP TRYING TO TURN IT ON...YOU WILL FRY THE CIRCUITS. Bury the camera in a bowl of dry rice for one week....then, turn it on.
Don't try to turn it on. After drying out the card and battery compartment as best you can, bury the camera in a bowl of dry rice for one week. Then, try to turn it on with your fingers crossed. I'm assuming the water was clear and not saltwater. You still may have a problem with water spots on the inside lens elements if any water got inside them.
