Is there anyway I can salvage it? Anyway at all. I turned it on for a couple seconds and it was flashing so now I have it in rice. I cannot afford to spend $150 for a replacement right now..
Have you had experience with the oven dry method? Would rice not work after I have rinsed in DI water? Also should I clean the board with Q tips or anything? Sorry for the load of questionsTurning it on after it fell in most probably fried it.
Soaking it, unplugged, in RODI or distilled water is going to be your best bet. Dunk it several times and let the water run out between dunks. Then the toaster or regular oven set on warm, no hotter than 120-180 degrees, for several hours.
If it doesn't work after that it's likely toast.
Ok thanks for the help Steve and everyone else. I'm hoping that its salvageable. Anyone know of any good deals on a new one or like new?The goal is to get inside and out completely dry 100%. Rice won't draw any water out of the inside. Best to open as much as possible and use fans and or MILD heat..
Aquarium light, no. Cell phone, yes.Have you had experience with the oven dry method? Would rice not work after I have rinsed in DI water? Also should I clean the board with Q tips or anything? Sorry for the load of questions
