[I NEED MORE MEMBERS http://groups.google.com.au/group/GEEK-A-BYTE]

Whoops,

I have a two gig usb key (generic brand), and I left it in my shorts
pocket. (which where then washed)

Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to dry it out.

I NEED IT!

Thanks

Just blow it out with air or use a hair drying..
if you do it before it gets too bad it should be ok.

Rinse it in *clean* water, let it dry (or use a hair dryer), then get
all your data off it into safe storage. It will probably work for a
while, but you've probably shortened its lifetime a bit. I've used this
method to recover many keyboards that have had cola or coffee spilled
into them. The key is to get any chemicals/acids/sticky stuff out
before it dries on.
