Tablet stuck in recovery mode

My tablet was entirely unresponsive before this happened, and despite protection from rain within a backpack it was rendered incapable of functioning. Even more baffling was that I used a case that was supposed to be waterproof.

Anyways, back to the current situation. So now I took the battery out from the note and put it back in, and it seems that it has recollected some semblance of a working tablet. Turned it on, and I get sent to the recovery mode screen. Just as my hopes were rising, somehow the tablet's volume and power buttons (used to navigate the menu within the mode) weren't working, making my efforts meaningless.

Help would be appreciated if anyone knows how to fix this problem.
