    Use a hair dryer to eliminate fog. Then don't leave out in the weather for any period of time. May be too late though. With water on the board, the damage may have already been done.

    Put it in a large zip lock bag with some rice in it and leave it for about a week. The rice will draw the moisture out.

    Never heard of the rice thing, good tip. As long as it's working just keep using it.

    I use starkey desiccant. small sand like granuals for my hearing aids. draws out the moisture. you might be able to buy them at an electronics store or www.starkey.com . they are a lot faster than rice. or floor dry. good luck

    Rice has been used for many decades in the south. Humidity is so high, old timers always put rice in salt shakers to keep the salt from absorbing moisture. This is especially true when camping or in old time homes without modern climate controls.
