Last night, my bb bold 9780 was immersed with water.

IT was still on, we removed the battery and left it to dry for a couple of hours.

Placing the battery back on, it does not turn on.

Led light flashes only once .

Please help me my mobile device's warranty has expired and im afraid i cannot find a blackberry service center nearby..

Hi and Welcome to the Community!

REMOVE YOUR BB BATTERY NOW!!!

Run, don't walk, to this FAQ:

http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Got_Your_BlackBerry_Wet%3F

Do everything it says, including waiting the maximum recommended time. Applying power to your BB between it getting wet and doing this process reduces the chances of success. Further, the only thing predictable about moisture intrusion into a BB (indeed, any electronic device) is that the results will be unpredictable. I've seen some come back up right away and be fine. I've seen others never work at all. I've seen still others run for a bit, and then die later. And every thing in between.

Good luck!
