Slippery When Wet!

Interesting day today.
My grandmother spilled some diet coke on me, which is fine, but she spilled it on my Archos, too, which is NOT fine.
I firgured it would just dry and work, but, it didn't. In fact, it wouldn't turn on.
In true hacker form, I tried to open it up, but the screw heads were WAY too small.
TIP: Razor blades make great screwdrivers for ridiculously thin screws. Unfortunately, they only work for screw removal.
So I dried off the inside with a paper towel, and my Archos is working fine, despite being a soft pull away from being totally open.
