Trackball+keys dead : try rice

My 8120 trackball and keys click and don't do anything. 

I removed and cleaned the trackball, but no luck.

I am thinking of buying a new trackball, but something tells me that won't necessarily solve it - some rain may have damaged it - otherwise why would the other keys not be working? 

I read somewhere that someone (don't laugh) put their phone in a bag of white rice for 3 days. The rice soaks up the moisture. I am going to try it. Report if it works for you and I will too!
