    Abstract: A water displacing composition is provided that includes a C4-C9 hydrocarbon that is linear, branched or cyclic. The hydrocarbon represents the majority constituent of the composition. A C3-C6 alcohol is also present. The composition is well suited for displacing water from circuitry in a personal electronic device that has been inadvertently wet. An anti-corrosion agent is provided to inhibit corrosion associated with residual water remaining in contact with the circuitry after exposure to the composition. The process for restoring operation to a personal electronic device having circuitry that has been wet by water includes exposing the circuitry to the composition through spraying, immersion, or other techniques.
