I have found that after taking out the battery, I could place the item in the oven at lowest heat for 15 minutes, out for 15, in for 15, for about an hour and a half. Then let the item cool, replace the battery and use. I had a cell phone that went through a complete wash cycle. Wound up working fine. A microwave will generate sparks from metal in the item as well as potentially melt the plastic. Excellent way of putting something out of their misery. LOL
I also have used the oven, for a digital watch that had gotton wet. The display had turned black! Leave it in the oven untill it cools off.
I set the oven for 150 degrees,when it got up to temp. I turned of the oven and put the watch in. I did not take the battery out and it worked fine!
