I dropped it in water can you fix it?
I have become an expert in water immersion. This started when a real estate developer friend mentioned to me that she and her husband had bought a rather expensive iDock for their daughter for Christmas and just discovered thier daughter had dropped her iPod into a sink of water in the bathroom while at a bar recently.
They hadn't counted on buying her a new iPod, and it was two days before Christmas when she told me this. Anyone that knows me, understands that I like challenges and she brought it over.
I opened it up, and dis-assembled it completely so there were only exposed
surafaces to all the parts. Then I wiped down all the contacts and used a
fine art brush to remove the moisture that remained on the surface of the
contacts. Next, I cleaned all the contacts, then elevated the temperature of all the parts in an open area so any remaining moisture would evaporate and freely leave the parts without re-condensing.
Then I put it all back together again.
It worked! Christmas saved!!
Since then, I've done this many times for other clients.
Martha R is a Realtor here in the area. She gave her son new 2nd generation Nano for the same Christmas. He is just 8 years old and left his Nano in his pants pocket the night before Martha threw his clothes in the washing machine. It went through the entire wash cycle and she discovered it prior to throwing it into the dryer. It arrived here officially dead. Using the same techniques, I was able to restore it to 100% perfection the next morning by working on it over night. All music files intact, perfect operation.
This washing machine theme shows up more than once. Betty F in Cloverdale errantly washed her daughters second generation Nano also. This one went through the washer *and* the dryer. She only found out it was in the dryer, when it started banging the interior while tumbling the clothes dry. In this event the outer case of the Nano was actually bent from being smashed up against the dryer drum.
Using the same techniques, I was able to get her daughter Robyn's blue
Nano working again. This is Betty picking it up.
