I read a wiki how-to article about this and all this advice about the distilled water and air-drying is true, but you should let it dry for a couple of days, not just hours. The reason ChasingAmy's probably didn't work properly at first was because it wasn't utterly devoid of moisture yet. That seems to be key.
I dumped half a bottle of water right into my laptop once... the screen looked like lava was pouring down it as it made this scary meltdown sound and died. I just unplugged it and turned that puppy upside down over a towel for 3 days. Plugged her back in and she was good as new.
