One of my users dropped her BlackBerry in a cup of espresso. I though espresso cups were rather small, but this one must have been a stay awake special. Anyway, the space bar stopped working so we had to order a replacement.
She might have saved the day if she knew to put her wet device in a bowl of rice to dry out. That's uncooked rice, everybody.
I understand cat litter will work too, but don't leave it where the cat will get confused.
