I may have killed my Wacom tablet...

Sleep deprivation will do that to you, last night I forgot a glass of water on my work area, accidentally hit with my arm and it spilled its content over my Bamboo Wacom tablet.
It´s been displaying erratic behaviour ever since, with the cursor sometimes jumping across the screen like a demonic flea on acid.

Be honest... I´m gonna have to fork some dead presidents, won´t I?

Unplug it and put it in a bag/box of rice for 24-36 hours. It may be too late if you've been using it since the water incident, but it's worth a try. The rice will absorb any residual moisture.

Thanks, Bishop, worth a shot.

When in doubt.

Weegie board.

Comes with a mouse and all.
