The key is not having any electrical source connected while doing this, being very sure to avoid any residue (hence the distilled water), and a THOROUGH drying. This has been known to work even with underwater cameras as long as the installed batteries are in a sealed compartment when the camera is flooded with sea water.

Remember that pure water is basicly not conductive until impurities are added.  That said, I would be concerned about the touchpad due to the potential for something getting between layers and being VERY difficult to rinse out.

I haven't tried it with a touchpad yet. If it is already flaky because of something being spilled in it then I would do the distilled water trick.

Really? WOW. And I always thought getting them wet was a bad thing. Do you
think it makes a difference that my touchpad is part of the keyboarde?
