yesterday i came in posession of a valuable water damaged piece of tech. Taking a look inside, the mobo looked screwed, it had rust and whatnot hither and thither.
I took it home and cleaned up the mobo as much as possible with a toothbrush and eraser..
next day i get the charger for this device, as the battery was clearly dead, and it worked! booted up and whatnot. the screen, however, lasted very breifly... it went out after a couple of minutes
i disassembled it for, probably, the 10th time now, and worked my way to the lcd, disassembled that, and noticed some water remained in there.
could i theoretically get rid of the water and salvage the lcd? or do i have to buy a new one..
thanks, i could really use some tech pros on this
p.s. right now the lcd is having the water removed.. i'll check it in a bit..

it could work ;) depends on the hardware
and what hardware has been damaged ;)
some hardware might have short procection on it ;) so it prevents from getting damaged if some circuits get a short
so in this case it's just hoping that the water didnt short the wrong circuits ;) and hope it works
also look out with lcd's and water. some capacitors can hold up a lot of power inside of them, i rather not see anoyne take a shock from those nasty things :P

If it got mixed with the Liquid Crystal... No chacnce.

right there is liquid in the liquid crystal, all bets are off it the crystal is broken. If it is not broken there is a pretty good chance that it will be ok.
completely disassemble and put parts in a bowl of dry rice, that will absorb all the tiny tiny particles of water. I usually rinse with rubbing alcohal before putting it in the rice to clean contanimants.
heya Noah! good to see u.
