Hello,

Umm.. my XL-7, god this sounds awful... was rained on through an open
window while turned on....

After finding it in this condition and giving it two days to dry out I
switch it on and every LED lights and the screen displays a series of
solid boxes across the top row and little else. That's all I can get
it to do as it never begins to boot. 

any ideas, or am I out of luck? 

thanks,

Mattb

An internal physical inspection is required.  Tell us what you find or send a photo.

You should immediately take it to an electronics repair shop. I hope when you dried it out you openined it or else it may not have been very dry when you turned it on to possible calamity.

Wetness causes corrosion and rust but can be removed by drying and by liquid drying agents that the repair shops know how to use. 

If everything is dried, it can usuall work. 

I have a roland mixer that was completely submerged, but after drying out for a month or two, works fine with some static on some channels. The problem is that the circuits will likely rust out.

My fear is that if it was still damp when you switched it on, you may have shorted some important circuits from the power supply.

Take it in and hope for the best.

Indeed, dryness is the key...I've full submerged a asio SK1 in water
and turned it on immediately afterwards though, and it still worked :)

It's more likely that water cached itself IN something that was on a
circuit board...likemaybe it bubbled up into a bad solder point or
something...never know whats in there until you open it...
