Default Another possible solution: DIY steam cleaning.

1. Microwave a damp washcloth until steaming.
2. Place cloth over stuck button(s) for 30 seconds.
3. Remove cloth, wipe down buttons with a dry cloth. Let completely dry before driving.

This was how I fixed my stuck climate control buttons - I think it's safer than using alcohol.

Default I can't resist this one...

Instead of the mini-refrigerators in the pass thru hole we put in microwave-ovens to heat our MMI cleaning cloths.<ul><li><a href="http://www.livingincomfort.com/ro12miov800w.html">http://www.livingincomfort.com/ro12miov800w.html</a</li></ul>

Default I figured that Greenie would have posted that one. He must be in court.

I'm trying to close the books and the freaking bank statements are late again.

I would think the moisture could do damage to the circuit board.

Default That's why I said to let it completely dry first.

If you wanted to be really safe, use distilled water.
