Dude... this reminds me of the time when I worked at a computer store
doing service and some guy had a flood... so he stuck his Gateway
computer in the oven to dry it out. This only corroded everything worse
because he didn't bother washing it ahead of time... (lots of mud) there
was also no way his drives would ever work again... but believe it or
not the CPU and MOBO did work.
I still had a great laugh.
