I understand they can usually be resurrected by removing the pcb from the box, thoroughly drying it out, and giving it a good clean.

 

Where was the water from - the rear washer pipe? That's where mine came from... :rolleyes:

Not sure, but I would have thought so. Perhaps someone else could help with this one, or you could just try unplugging the unit...
