Sticky digicam (was [AT] OT

[Bob McNitt]

I agree with Charlie on using alcohol (denatured). I have and use several 
digital cameras, palmcorders, etc. and any time they get wet, I just make 
sure the batteries are removed and then thoroughly dry them via placing them 
on a sunlite window sill or dashboard. An unlit gas oven with the door 
cracked a bit also works (pilot light heat will evaporated the moisture).

However, if the liquid is coffee, juice, soda or something other than plain 
water, I use a very modest amount of alcohol in several applications over a 
couple of days.Main thing is to NEVER allow an electric flow thru the 
circuitry until you're finished and the unit is thoroughly dry. BTW, most 
commercial electronic cleaners are primarily alcohol-based.
