So I accidentally put an open water bottle in my bag while my tablet was in there, LCD was unfortunately flooded, but I ordered a replacement screen and it arrived today. Though opening up the tablet I found water droplets throughout, so I removed every part meticulously to put in rice or something and noted any current corrosion I had to remove with a q tip.
My question is this. As soon as I opened it up I noticed the water very quickly evaporating. I actually can't see any more now. Anyone who does mobile device repairs, what do you think? Could I skip the deep-dry? I looked at all the components and none of them have any parts that could have trapped water that I missed and I don't really look forward to cleaning the entire thing of starch ( though I do just have silica beads but let's stay on topic)
Am I right to feel confident about the dryness of the components? Let me know!
Rice is bad because it doesnt actually absorb much moisture and can cause mold growth
Better to put it in front of a fan to add air circulation and maybe warm it a bit (i.e. near ish to a heater but not on it)
I didn't know this, thank you for the info
