Of course, there's also the slim chance that an unwell device may not turn back on.
2. For the wet Pre2, if you feel it isn't dry, you might put it into some dry rice overnight, or for a week, like some suggest for dropping a cell phone into water. I've never heard of the water-based oil issue, but rice -- or a bunch of silica desiccant packages can suck the moisture out of most turn-off device.
FWIW....
I could not see the contents of your post on my Pre3 using the Forums app, but I could quote it and saw you used an open square bracket without closing it, plus I think square brackets have special meaning, so this may have caused the issue. I replaced that open square bracket above with 2 dashes.
Looks like that worked since now I can see the contents of your post in what I quoted above. Hope this helps others as well.

Does anyone have any ideas?

If you think your Pre3 is getting full of SMS, Calendar, and other data, and may be having a disk space issue, have you taken a look in /var/db/main/ using Internalz, sort that directory by Size, and see how large in size the 2 largest files are, which are usually indexes.db and objects.db?
They should ideally be less than around 20-25MB total and if they are larger than around 50-100MB, then you may run into issues, especially if you did not at least resize partitions in the past as covered in this post number 298 of mine:

You can use the Linux command:
df -h
to check the disk usage of each partition to see how full each one is.
Also, are you using the built-in Email app?
If so, are you using IMAP or POP?
If IMAP, how many days worth of email are you telling it to keep (does POP have this same option too?)?
I stopped using the webOS Email app to read email since there is no option to tell it to not automatically load images (I hope LuneOS has this option since it helps reduce SPAM email tracking you too) and I think it may have partly contributed to /var/db/main/ getting too full on my Pre3 when I had it keep more than 3 days worth of IMAP email (I think the root cause was Google sync issues fixed by the Google Calendars Sync Behaviors patch aka googleoauth or oauth).
Have you looked for any out of the ordinary error or warning messages in /var/log/messages or use Lumberjack to look for them?
I hope your Pre3 starts feeling better soon. Let us know what you find.
