acute Posted September 27, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) Even if they're not officially "waterproof", most modern electronic devices can be rescued after being flooded, because they don't have so many 'discrete components' these days. The mistake that people make is to leave it for just a few hours, then think "Ooh..... I'll just try it". NOOOOOO ! ! ! Leave it in a warm room for a week before you turn it on, and you probably won't need to buy a replacement.
