)Cold lowers electronic noise, thus maximizing the SNR and sometimes making possible to get a useful signal out of a dying chip.

I tried my 770 again this morning and still same result. I'm not surprised since it only got a few hours of sunlight. As someone said before, the 770 has a sealed enclosure so it would be smarter if I take it out carefully and let separate parts dry...

That's bad, first of all because the excessive heat created by the direct sunlight exposure can seriously damage the most delicate parts of your device (expecially the screen
) and second because, given the sealed enclosure, the excess of vapour is even more dangerous than water itself because it can easily infiltrate in smaller places...Go ahead, disassemble your 770, but let it dry at room temperature and avoid direct sunlight... and let's hope all the abuses didn't kill the tablet

I left it by the window in an AC'ed room. I will put it back and will have to disassemble it since the water in the screen isn't getting any less. I made the biggest mistakes. I learned one lesson though; never use the 770 in the toilet!

), could result in an expansion of the "fluid" in between the 2 surfaces, putting pressure on the weakest of the two layers (I don't think the "chamber" is vented) possibly causing warp or glue failure...Sure, I trust what you say and I'm probably (ok, completely
) wrong, but given the fact that the poor 770 recently visited a not so nice place I wouldn't risk overheating too By the way, what is the typical temperature range for a commercial grade LCD+digitizer assembly?
