I'd stay away from using more water. As an old avionics tech in the Navy, and having gone through corrosion control classes...water isn't the best cleaning agent for this. Get yourself a squirt bottle with a tip where you can get a small steady stream, rubbing alcohol, small brishes (snall, stiff bristle paint brush, toothbrush, q-tips, etc) and get ready to clean. Stay away from lubricants like WD40 and the such. They will elave a residue that is a conductor.

* Scrape away any visible chunks of salt
* Spray with alcohol and allow to drain off and flush out
* Clean with brushes being careful around components
* Reflush with alcohol and allow to air dry
* Recheck and see if there is any visible residue

You can also check out a spray electronics cleaning solvent. Not sure if they have any at Radio Shack but do a Google search on it.

Good Luck!
