How to salvage a wet gadget

Ever spilt a cup of coffee over your keyboard? I went even better (worse) once, when working as a radio journalist. I tipped a full cup of coffee over a studio control panel. Needless to say, I was extremely unpopular with the technicians. A printing firm I worked for banned open cups at the desk - we were allowed only sipper cups with lids.

But no matter what the dunking you give your gadget - whether it be keyboard, ipod or cell phone - there are reasonable possibilities of salvaging it. This PC World video has some practical suggestions.
