You've probably got nothing to lose at this point so you may as well disconnect it and proceed to rinse it out thoroughly but gently with water. Once done rinsing, shake it gently to remove all the excess water you can, and then let it AIR DRY naturally for a few days until it's absolutely, positively dry. Then, give it a try. Don't be impatient! It may be too late already but so you'll need a bit of luck, and patience.
