Open it. Clean it. Put it in a jar of rice for 3 days.
Bury the rice in the north side of the yard.
Last step is optional.

The only thing you can do is to re-flash both images and start from scratch, maybe the OS has been corrupted because of electrical short and untill you do a re-flash you cannot realise if permanent damage has occured.
Oh, and just as I did last time - cause apparently I don't learn from mistakes - I forgot that the backup of applications isn't done by the backup function in Ovi Suite. My previous backup using the backup application on the N900 was from May. Yay.

replace, THEN take it to nokia service center...
Actually if you look on page 2, it looks like there may even be wifi modules avaiable...?

N900 WLAN Size4.0 Module ENW49701N LGA80 4390042
Yes, seems like. But from what I've seen, I'm guessing that is but a few mm large... I wonder how much it'd be to get it repaired outside of warranty.
Edit: i sent a request to a local repair shop, hopefully I'll get a price from them.

Ach doch! They had closed down the Nokia repairs part. I might try a mechashop elsewhere, though.
I had similar probs with my N95 and this cured it.
