So I accidentally put an open water bottle in my bag while my tablet was in there, LCD was unfortunately flooded, but I ordered a replacement screen and it arrived today. Though opening up the tablet I found water droplets throughout, so I removed every part meticulously to put in rice or something and noted any current corrosion I had to remove with a q tip.
My question is this. As soon as I opened it up I noticed the water very quickly evaporating. I actually can’t see any more now. Anyone who does mobile device repairs, what do you think? Could I skip the deep-dry? I looked at all the components and none of them have any parts that could have trapped water that I missed and I don’t really look forward to cleaning the entire thing of starch ( though I do just have silica beads but let’s stay on topic)
Am I right to feel confident about the dryness of the components? Let me know!
You can’t see under the chips, my guy. Put it in a warm place or with silica bags as suggested and let it dry for safety.
Alright I won’t take the risk then, I’ll take a look at it with the video microscope to look for corrosion then toss the components in a silica bag
Sounds good! Props for giving it a go!
