However the most important thing to remember is that it has to be completely dry before turning on. Because even the slightest amount of moisture can lead to a short circuit. BTW if you use distilled water then the risks are even lower, because distilled water doesn't conduct electricity.  I don’t know how long that board lasted after that, but it did work after washing, that’s all I know. Even though I didn't see it happen, I trust the guy. Its not surprising to hear that he tried something like that (he does this kind of things a lot) and it is not that hard to imagine, as I said before, under the correct circumstances it could work.</blockquote>
