"Tech TLC" - saving your wet cell phone

This was written in the November 2008 issue of American Baby magazine:

"Tech TLC: Did baby drop your cell phone or digital camera in the toilet? (Oh, it happens!) Try this, from Best Buy's geek Squad: first, don't try to turn it on. Remove the battery and seal both it and the device in Tupperware, along with a silica gel pack (found in a purse or shoebox - or in a bag of beef jerky, if you don't have a new purse around). Wait a day for the gel to absorb liquid before reassembling your device and turning it on."

I hadn't heard this before, and Mike's cell phone seems to always be getting wet - he sets it on the counter, the night-stand, etc. I think we'll try this technique next time!
