submerged ds lite

[Dobby]

Son has just dropped his ds lite down the toilet. Have shook it off and put it on the radiator to dry.....is there any hope it'll work again?

wouldn't putting it on the radiator possibly damage the insides??

I have no idea what else to do though?

Let it dry out naturally for a few days, not with direct heat maybe :chin:

take out the battery unit, leave it to dry on its own for about a week, dont put it on the radiators as the heat could damage the screens.

I got my kameleon 8 remote working after the mrs got cooking oil on it by stripping it, cleaning and leaving it to dry for a week without batteries. Only had to strip as oil wont dry as such.

DS should dry out

Somewhere warm like an airing cupboard is probably worth a try, rather than on a radiator. Leave it there for a few days to dry all the moisture out.

Cross fingers and hope..

Cheers,

I hope it drys out and works, or else that will be an expensive trip to the loo! I always have a fear of dropping the phone down the loo

Sod off did she. He dropped it, he retrieved it, the first i knew of it, he came in the kitchen asking for a towel for his ds

bless him, he's only 3 1/2 and must have been trying to wee and play the ds at the same time lol

 

[Most Easterly Pandas]

Only joking. LOL.

take all removable parts out and stick it in the ariring cupboard for a few days with the parts laying beside.

i did this with a DS and about 5 phones, worked every time

Yeah think we'll do that, only problem is we need a really teeny screw driver so hubbys gonna have to buy one today

If it does work. The sound will probally be screwed but try any way

 

[Andy Monty]

If you have any brake and clutch cleaner blast the PCB with it to drive off the moisture works just the same as proper contact and switch cleaner

 

[Dobby]

Well, would you Adam and Eve it!!! It is now working perfectly apart from a bit of water damage to the bottom screen but that seems to be getting smaller.

Wahey for Nintendo :slayer:

 

[Big Black Stilo]

as it dries out further it will get better.

Just coz something electronic gets wet, dont write it off! Ive bought a few phones back from the dead as well.

That said if it landed in a glass of coke it would be a gonner
