I dipped (noticed I didn't say dropped) my e715 in salt water this weekend. I dried it out and seemed to work fine for about 10 mins. After this, I couldn't work any of the keys. I read some threads about maybe a short in one of the keys might be making the phone believe the key is pressed, making none of them work. I oppened the phone (just removed the battery, the screws and popped the bottom end) and can see very minor corrosion. One is near the connector to the charger and the other is near the sim card holder. They are both extremely minor and I don't think they are affecting hte keys. However, I would like to try to clean them. What should I use to clean them? Thinner? Alcohol? If so, what kind? Any other suggestions to fix the keypad?
