I haven't managed to wash one yet, but I did once drop my old Motorola phone in a bucket of very dirty water and after drying it out it worked just fine for another year and a half. Odille

I had a phone get wet, and let it dry for days and days, thinking it was just a little water inside, but for some reason it never got rid of all the water and when I tried to fire it up it shorted because a ton of water was still in there. Just a thought.

I fear for my card reader, there's something loose in it. Makes some noise when I shake it, and it didn't do that before. So I think I'll order a new card reader and try my CF cards in a few days. mjjstan wrote in post #8716124  I know it's a pretty well known remedy, but I highly suggest putting it in some rice or something that will naturally help draw the water out.
