My creative nomad mp3 player fell into a puddle of water. It is still playing back but all the controls are not responsive. I can only turn it on but can't turn it off (have to remove the battery). Also the lcd screen was working but it's slowly blinked out.
I've heard that letting it dry in a hot water cupboard might fix the problem.
Any other ideas?
A: Well if you hadnt contiinued to use it WET
I would have said remove the battery
and use a hairdryer on it for at least 20 mins
But now its too late
Water doesnt conduct electricity
but the stuff in water does
and now what is being left behind is damaged
circuits damaged carbon contacts and sludge
residue all over the insides of the device
You could take it apart and scrub it all down
with Isopropyl...
