I'm not sure how this applies here but I found something that might help those with damaged electronics due to the floods. Most warranty plans don't cover water damage so if you have an important or expensive item you want to salvage, here's a good article for that:

Basically, it's take it apart then clean it if it's dry or spray it with clean water if not. Then you clean with an evaporating cleaner and dry it.

If any of you folks have other helpful tips on repairing water damaged gadgets, please share here. Oh, and the drying via rice should be a good tip as well

My Ipod was accidentally soaked in the washing machine, because i forgot it is in my jeans pocket. So I search the internet how to fix water soaked Ipod. So Itried the drying via rice. I buried my ipod in a bowl of rice, left it for almost 3 days, it works, until now my ipod works fine

Just on my experience regarding eletronic item if soaked in water . Dont used it and let it really dry .The longer your drying period the better .It happen on my Power Amplifier and open the top cassing and dry it and spray with a contact cleaner all the connection and it work. If not bring it to the service center .

I dropped my car keys in the toilet not too long ago. I was worried the keyless entry might have been soaked. After washing and soaping thoroughly, I let the keyless entry dry for a couple of days (using the wife's hair dryer frequently). It worked like normal.

1. Wash it.
2. Wipe it dry.
3. Use a hair-dryer. Not too hot though.
