One thing most people don't know is that electronics usually work fine after dunked in water, as long as they're allowed to dry out. It's when you try to use them and they're not dry that things short out.

Avoid dunking in coffee with cream and sugar, though. Trust me on that.

Fer Sure!

Not all liquids are created equal

When my BF allowed his Mini to slip out of his pocket
into the bucket he uses to cool his welds in, it was
a total goner! frown

He'd been dunking hot metal in the water.. often coated
with cutting lubricant. Spilling coffee in the water..
sick spitting into it, and ducking cigarette butts.

He snatched it out in a fraction of a second, and turned
it off, locked it down & called me on his cellphone.

I shook it out, and allowed it to dry for over a week...
but the slop in got dunked it was a killer 4 sure.

Don't pour coffee or beer on your keyboard, either.

Nah.. you can do anything you like to a keyboard,,, even soda.
Immerse in de-ionized water and let soak for a while. Swirl to remove goo. Remove and let dry.
Good as new.

I'd also add that after dipping your electronic device in water, pouring rubbing alcohol over it can help speed drying.
