Default Icharger 206b buttons not always working

My Icharger sometimes is having issues with the buttons not working when I press them. Just now I could not get the start button to work untilI came back 10 minutes later. Its less than a year old however I am sure I have voided my warranty. The charger and batteries were partly submerged in water while charging when a storm unexpectedly came along a month after I bought it. It worked fine after being put in rice for several days.

However is there anything I can do to make the buttons work better? A new charger is not going to happen for awhile as I just picked up a new helicopter.

Downfall of the xxx models of iChargers (not the Duos).... try spraying with quickly evaporating electrical contact cleaner spray and blow out with can of air? My 306b has a button I have to push extra hard these days.

I'll try that as long as the local hardware stores here have some! But yes nice charger other than the buttons.

Menards, Home Depot, Lowes, Radio Shack... spray some on your finger at the store.. make sure it evaporates FAST and gets very cold when doing so. Some leave a greasy residue you don't want that kind. I'll take a photo of mine when I get home.
