Sunday's coffee...

Morning all.  I washed my phone last night   It sure is clean.  It sure doesn't work.  I'll do what someone here told me to do last time I washed it.  I'll give it another wash in pure RO, dry it out and hope for the best.  It worked last time.

WD-40 always worked for me....

[wsantia1]

I am chillin too. I am going over to my neighbors house in a little bit to check out his train setup. He and his wife are having an open house.. He's got 5 different lines running in his basement. I've been told it is pretty elaborate.

I don't think I'll be able to resurrect the my clean phone this time.  I took it apart and gave it a bath in RO, put it on top of the dehumidifier to dry, WD40'd it and I ain't got much.  Sometimes I see a but of light in the darkness of the screen, sometimes just blackness.  I wish I could take the screen part off the top and  WD it, but I can't get it apart from the phone's body.  I'll leave it on top of the dehumidifier until morning and sleep with my fingers crossed.

It's strange that I can make my through the greatest of life's crises and yet the little stuff whupps my arse.   Phone, harrumph.  Generator key, harumph.  The brakes on The Beast, harrumph, harrumph, harrumph

Chin up....2016 is on the way........by the by, why not use your hair dryer ?...

[LizStreithorst]

I don't have a human hair dryer.  I have a big dog one that I used last time.  My head told me that since the dehumidifier would be more gentle.  The heat that it puts out isn't hot but it is almost devoid of moisture.  Is my thinking wrong?

..who knows ?.....   ....but dehumidifier's rarely get all the moisture....

[LizStreithorst]

I'll be in Hattiesburg tomorrow for an 8 am appointment with Saint Puppy's vet.  If the phone doesn't work by morning, I'll buy another.  I hope that they will be able to salvage my phone numbers.

As long as your dryer doesn't make your phone too hot, it should be OK. I'd try to keep it under 100˚F.

Alternatively, you could put it in a plastic bag with some dry uncooked rice. The rice will absorb the water out of the air and indirectly suck it out of the phone.

Another approach would be to put it in a partial vacuum. This would also evaporate the water. Would need a vacuum pump and an air tight container though.

I have had 3 water vs. electronics fights recently.
I lost two of them and one (laptop) recovered some partial function, but is real slow now. I use it to back up my back up disks.
One of the losers got a mixed drink with lots of sugar and other chemicals that won't evaporate.
