Note to my self: Do not try to filter coffey with my n900.

How much would a display cable cost? If that is the only thing broken..

The goal is to dry the thing out as fast as you possibly can to prevent corrosion.

Spilled coffee, I'd be inclined to wash the phone under water, assuming you've got enough in there to gum up the works with sugar. Fill up your sink - if you're paranoid you can use distilled water - and dunk away.

Strip it down to parts, towel it off, and then leave it in a warm dry environment, Somewhere between 40 and 60 degrees C. A hair dryer can provide this for you, or the oven. (Avoid the microwave)
More than 30 different electronic devices (from remote controls, cellphones, mp3 players, etc) I've put on rice for a couple of days to dry, almost all of them came back working in perfect order (the rest burned down cause of a battery short due to long water exposure).
Also its inexpensive and wont stress the PCB of the device (or plastics, like some ribbons uses) with intense heat that the device isn't designed to suffer.

Some were mine (kids love to throws stuff in the kitchen sink) and a lot from friends (dropped in muddy water, rain, etc).

A friend of mine went fishing, was taking a picture of the catch, the fish slipped, hit him, and the cellphone (an old treo 650) went straight to the water. Lucky for him, he caught before it went down, and a week later, it was running without issues.

It may be a silly story but I have dropped lots of light tea / water on my computer keyboard and they recovered but it was a little bit of milky cappacino that killed it!

not true. rice is a good household desiccant. a cheap short use alternative to silica gel.
