The key is not having any electrical source connected while doing this, being very sure to avoid any residue (hence the distilled water), and a THOROUGH drying. This has been known to work even with underwater cameras as long as the installed batteries are in a sealed compartment when the camera is flooded with sea water. Remember that pure water is basicly not conductive until impurities are added. That said, I would be concerned about the touchpad due to the potential for something getting between layers and being VERY difficult to rinse out.
