Fixing wet cell phones.

[300SD81]

I must be in a fixing mood tonight.. taken apart two laptops, a rotary tool and now my malfunctioning cell/handheld computer.. I got a splash of water in it a week or so ago and it hasn't quite worked right since...not anymore. The secret:




take out the motherboard and dunk it in ISO-HEET, or another source of dry isopropyl alcohol, and put in front a fan. The alcohol will mix with the water and make it evaporate far faster than it would alone. Bluetooth is working again, as well as the USB port, and signal strength is back to where it used to be before it got wet.
