Almost all liquids hold dissolved solids likes salts and minerals and a whole bunch of other stuff that is usually conductive. A wet device usually dies when power is applied to components that have contacts shorted out with these dissolved conductive solids. What happens is the contacts short out and delicate components go "paff", kablooie. If this were to happen to your TV you would get sparks, smoke and possibly fire. On a cell phone, a PDA or a laptop it's just quietly dead. Geoff, Luckily my PDA was off. I wasn't certain at the time it happened, though. I envisioned millions of tiny short circuits causing electronic brain death. I was ready to buy another one, actually, and I was quite surprised when it worked again. It's completely back to normal. Thanks for the info, Dave S. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
