I dropped my surface pro in the bath. It completely submerged but i got it out instantly. Powered it off and Dried it with a towel and its currently surrounded by dry rice in a container. What are the odds it will still work? When should i attempt to turn it on?

Hi Jared, we recommend getting it looked at. Water damage is unpredictable and can affect devices differently. Some devices get submerged and can be revived, some devices get a little splash and need full board repair. It’s best to have a technician look at it for the most accurate diagnosis.
