Back in my news photography days we would hear about $40,000 betacams
going in the drink and how the engineers would save them with distilled
water. As I understand corrosion is the biggest issue and the sooner you
can get the salt off the better. In the case I know about, the engineers
soaked the camera in question thoroughly to get rid of the salt and gunk
and then used a fan to dry it back out. Then were able to re align all
the optics. YMMV

Hi all,
Any of you guys out there know the best way I can safely clean off the
salt & brine from a possibly recoverable hard drive that was submerged
under salt water? I'm afraid to use water, but maybe with a cotton swab,
that's the safest alternative... Alcohol might damage some components or
smth... Any suggestions?
