hard to say, i dont think it would clear the eprom date from it without some sort of power sorce, but it could be damaged.

Things like individual electrical chips are suprisingly resilient to water, unless they're powered on when they get wet. In the case of the chip, it's probably okay. A bit of water might have seeped inside any tiny space that might be there between where the prongs come out of the casing. It's not gonna hurt to plug it in and give it a try. Worst case scenario is that it just doesn't work.

One of the tricks that you can use to clean PC boards is to run them through a dishwasher. Comes out squeaky clean and works great (after you let it dry). If the pins are all still OK on the EPROM then it should be fine. I have washed MANY boards & chips in various ways an they are were fine.

Sounds like you need to take your laundry to your mom and have her do it. Washing machines are obviously a hazard to you!:D Seriously though, it should still work fine.
