i want a reasonable scientific explanation for this!

my alarm clock/radio just randomly turned on by itself- and it won't turn off. i tried all the settings, pushing the snooze button, n it won't turn off. i had a squirt gun sitting on it that apparently leaked on it a little; is it possible that this somehow fried its circuits to turn it on by itself n break the off swtich so it doesn't turn off? (not that i don't like hearing songs on the radio that i've played on Guitar Hero, hehe) the only other thing i can think of is maybe it triggered the alarm n it will shut itself off automatically after an  hour. i don't know shit about electronics really besides turning them on, off, and setting alarms, so if u think u have an idea of why its doing this, please reply! (n i will repeat- i want a reasonable scientific explanation for this! no ghosts or that crap! lol)
