- Place device in a bath of methylated spirits or isopropyl alcohol.
- Remove after a few minutes and let it dry naturally.
Good luck! |
This, but after rinsing, instead of the alcohol, you can place it in a room with a dehumidifier for 24 hours.
A friend used to have a cleaning service in which they would place electronic devices in hydro sonic water tanks, then just drain and place in the dehumidifier room. Just don't power up until completely dry.
