Don't ask, it's a long, dumb story. But I dropped my ipv mini and it landed in a half-full cup of watered down juice drink. I carefully opened it up and cleaned it out the best I could with a little rubbing alcohol on inner casing. Not really sticky inside as far as I can see. I did not try to slide out the screen/chip board as it would not come out easily so I didn't want to press my luck and totally damage it.
the problem I'm having with it is while the power button seems to be working fine, the tactile buttons aren't. It's a hit or a miss if they work when you press them and sometimes they just work on their own without pressing them at all. I don't know if the tactile buttons are toast or if maybe they just have some liquid in them.
At this point, I'm writing it off as a possible loss and because of that, I am thinking bout opening it up and submerging it in luke warm water and sloshing it around for a few seconds, then let it dry for a few days and see what happens.
What do you think about this solution? Or if you have any other solutions, I would love to hear them.
I feel so stooooooopid, but such is life, I guess. Thankfully this thing is supper easy to disassemble.

Fortunately, clean water, no floaties. I have had my phone end up in THAT before - Once, I stood up from the can, hit the flush lever, and as I did my phone, which had worked it's way out of my side pocket while I was doing my thing, fell into the now flushing toilet
. I didn't even think, just reacted; I thrust my hand into the bowl, and pulled my phone to safety. Honestly, I was as concerned with getting something stuck in the drain as I was with recovering my phone.
