Reviving Dry Erase Markers

I was just wondering if anyone would know how to revive dried out dry erase markers. My 2 year old got ahold of them and left the caps partly off when she was done and now they are dried out. Any tips on getting them to work again would be much appreciated!

Try storing them upside down for a couple days with the tips facing down. The ink may refill the tip that way. Sometimes it works. It probably depends on how dried out they are. (07/20/2004)

Tape string to the end and swing over your head centrifuge gravity pull the ink to the end .....
Only 3 or 4 spins should do it cause the ink will pool in the cap if more so be careful when taking cap off.

What worked for me is simply to gently squeeze the marker tip a few times with needlenose pliers to redistribute the ink through it, like squishing a sponge. You can see the ink come to the surface. After recapping for a few minutes it works fine again.
