Some people have managed to get their wet cells going by doing this. The rice absorbs the waterOr with either rock salt or granulated brown sugar.	Greg (193)

It is faster and easier to use heat, and before anybody chimes in and says that will damage the electronics, remember that the boards are floated over a bath of molten metal to solder the components in place, so if you are careful you'll do no harm. The warming drawer of your oven will do it if you are a bit scared, but I heat the oven when I need to dry something out. So long as you keep it below the warping or melting point of any plastic components, you can dry anything electronic. Rinse it first with warm water, shake it out, then cook to taste. There are companies in NZ that recover flood and fire (water) damage to all sorts of hi-tech equipment. They use vacuum chambers to dry, but they clean first with good old hijklmno. :D Cheers Billy 8-{)	Billy T (70)

Don't hold back the tears. Let it all go, or just have another whisky. That's my advice.	Richard (739)
