Default Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

It's the oxidisation of the components that does it, think the sugar speeds up that process (or maybe it's the acid - coke seems to be the worst). They sell a liquid that you can douse your machine in after it gets wet (make it more wet? if you dare) that covers the components in a protective layer. Apparently turning it straight off and covering it in that is your best chance. You have to have some in the house though...

Think they were on dragons den with a pouch of the stuff designed for submerging wetted phones in.
