Back when I ran a photo lab, we used to rescue the keyboards of the
editorial gals when they spilled coffee or Cokes on them. This was back

Sure it does, you just need to crack open the case. Google / youtube is
your friend, find a video of someone taking the same model apart, you may

That's what they put in some of the little bags you find in medicine
bottles and such. Calcium chloride will pull the humidity 'way down
and dry out the cellphone. Since water was able to get into the
