I've just checked the Series 7 again and the touch-screen and silk-screen buttons are not working now, although the keyboard is functioning fine now. I'll package it up and send it to POS, who kindly got back to me by email this morning. That’s great news, thanks Richard.

Usually all it took was a period of time to dry it off, and it worked fine. From experience, because they are solid state, Psions and PDA's in general are better able to cope with getting wet than laptops...
