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.
