I used the dishwasher method on a borked Saitek backlit k/b, and it worked flawlessly with a drip-dry.
As for the on-off debate, I submit the following: I knew a taxi owner who had 22 taxis. His personal taxi never had the 2-way radio turned off. It was the only radio he never had to replace. Granted, the temperature fluctuations were extreme compared to a home pc, but...
Weird story: A friend had a pc that wouldn't boot. I tried everything- FFR, new HDD, different OS - nothing worked. I gave her a brand new pc built by me, burned in for days before I brought it over. Plugged it in- no go. I checked her AC power, and it was clean. I never got it to work at her house. Brought it back home, and it booted right away. Brought it back - no go. Tried installing Ubuntu, tried another known good HDD- nada. I gave up, and wished her well.
