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!
Don't put any rice near it. Use the silica bags.
Alright, and what about the not seeing any moisture?
You can't see under the chips, my guy. Put it in a warm place or with silica bags as suggested and let it dry for safety.
Alright I won't take the risk then, I'll take a look at it with the video microscope to look for corrosion then toss the components in a silica bag
