My cousin tripped...fell into her friends pool Fully clothed.
sounded like a funny story till she told me that her Camera, and her blackberry went with her..ontop of that got a nasty bruise on her leg.
stuck both her camera and blackberry in a bowl of dried rice.
both work amazing
Yep, that's why we recommend it!
haha did she come on here and ask? or just someone else wanted to know?
works wonders... its like putting a piece of bread in a enclosed jar with cookies... takes the moisture out of the bread and keeps the cookies soft like if they were freshly baked
You are on borrowed time. Chlorine is a corrosive. Even if the rice
removed the moisture, the chlorine is still in there working it's mojo.
Hey...I never knew that...sweet Thanks!
Huh, i never heard of that but it does make sense.
When i had a pager it got wet and i put it in the oven at 100degress, a couple hours later it worked fine.

The two worst things you can do to electronics is expose them to (a) chlorine
or (b) saltwater. In both cases failure is imminent.
Yeah, Electronics and Corrosives do not play well.
You might want to get a PCB Cleaner/Degreaser and hose them down. Open them up as much as you can and spray them down. I would cover the lens on the camera to protect the coating on the optics.
You might be able to find a PCB Cleaner/Degreaser locally at a place like Frys Electronics, or maybe Radio Shack if you're lucky. Online, you can search alliedelec.com or newark.com for them. In Canada it's canada.newark.com
I've use these types of sprays on boards worth thousands of dollars, and it works great.
The more opened up you can get the device, the quicker the cleaner will evaporate. Make sure to spray in a well ventalated area.
Really cool idea, I've never heard this before. Thanks for the incite now I know what to do if that happens to me.
