Danos Causados Pela Água

So pancreatic juice is a "common" fluid?? Not in my world; unless I am missing something.

Thanks for the guide! I have successfully brought several computers back to life using these instructions. I know that putting pouring distilled water on your electronics can seem counterintuitive but it helps rinse off all the gunk residue. Just make sure you dry it well (I put my motherboards in my garage in the summer for 24 hours). I've cleaned milk, water and beer spills so far.

Totally water submerged?

Once the unit is away from its power source, way away, take it outside in a ventillated area and pour isopropyl alcohol through the device, letting it displace the water as much as humanly possible. If its a camera try not to overdo it as to screw up the optics, If the optics are already contaminated, the alcohol thing might help but you still need to get the optics serviced.

for non-optical, keep the alcohol rinse/flush going a couple times and let the device either sit out and dry, blow a fan through it, or do the rice trick. The objective is to remove the bad ionization and water from the device. Alcohol dries quickly and mixes with the water. It should leave it very dry inside. If its salty salty salt water, your gonna get limited use of the device after this procedure and it would be advised to get all data out of the device asap (say if its a phone). The ocean salt water will have already done damage and is nearly impossible if not totally impossible to recover from fully

I I fix it! I poured tea over a mac book air and I thought I lost it forever.

So I opened the back and removed the battery and let it dry for a day. Than the next day I followed the instructions on your website and removed the logic board and cleaned it all with IPA and a toothbrush and cotton bud. When it was drying I had some silica gel bag that I kept on it to get all the moisture in the machine... Now it works fine. SO thanks!!

Keep all the silica gel bags you find in boxes and other places as one day they might come in handy!!!

Must the heat sinks be removed before soaking the board?

I have a Sony Xperia U which worked fine before I stepped into ocean with it in my pocket. It got switched off on its own at that moment. When I at last opened it by myself after 2-3 days of its exposure to sea water, I regretted not cleaning (using isopropanol as I know now) and drying the logic board within hours of its exposure when I observed that some smd components and EMI shields caught rust by that time because of which one very small smd resistor, in the attempt to clean the rust surrounding it that it caught, got chipped off. After that, I used hair blower in hot mode to dry off the board for long hours. After this much,the mobile stopped charging,for a while,using supplied charger(so I bought a cheap 'battery' charger to indirectly charge the battery).Interestingly,the mobile used to switch on(even with the res chipped off!)but yes,it used to take touch input intermittently even when I didn't provided any. power button acted as if pressed even when I didn't press it. Now its not switching on at all

My phone was in my pocket with a baby bottle, the bottle leaked in my pocket all over phone, it was working fine but now says no sim card and won't work, it onli works on wifi, I took it too thw shop where they took the sim out and told me it was wet inside and gave me a replacement sim, I've had it in a bag of rice for the past hour is there anything I can do as it's a brand new phone with no insurance plz help thanks

I just completed a complete tear down of a brand new MacBook Pro with water damage. I had VERY low expectations. I cleaned the logic board with alcohol and a clean brush - going over the obvious tarnishes a couple times until they were clean. I pulled the logic board and ram out and cleaned both sides. Put it all back together and Holy hole in a donut if fired back up. Un. Real. Thank you you beautiful ifixit people.

I'm not completely confident that I can successfully disassemble my iphone, can I just submerge the whole thing in the alcohol or will that mess up the battery and/or something else?

Hi,

I followed your direction to the tee. It powers on and stays on until I turn it off. When I shut down my laptop, it does not power back on. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I just opened my PS3 for multiple issues. When I got to the motherboard, I noticed what looks like Pepsi that dries long ago, to the point it is hard and not sticky at all. There is definitely some corrosion. In multiple places and crossing circuits.

I am going to clean it with alcohol. The spots where it corroded into circuit paths, worried me. Any suggestions to repair said paths?

Thanks ifixit, i would say that i spilled beer in my mac 12, after I passed your method it's working. You help me to save 850 Euro, the &&^&^$^ med store told me that you have to pay.

I recommend to others, don't be afraid you can repair these kind of problem.

Thanks a million with accurate steps

A number less than 7 indicates an acid solution, while a number above 7 indicates an alkaline solution. - Can you please tell me some good Alkaline and Acid Solutions to use?? in each case

I bought an inverter for my boat. The unopened box got splashed with sea water. NOT SUBMERGED. I removed the inverter (which was dry) and let it sit for a couple of days just in case. Upon installing, it works fine for 100w USB side but cuts out using 1000w side. No visible corrosion anywhere but I have not opened it up. Should I try a distilled water bath then alcohol bath to pull any salts? Suggestions before I crack it open? - thanks

I got rain in my drill, its wasnt plugged in, it was just sitting in the backyard , how to be sure its its ok, i just used a fan to dry it, but not sure for how long

i dropped my tablet into water, and it won’t stop rebooting. I put it in rice and it’s drying at the moment. Is it still going to be okay if it won’t stop rebooting? it is doing the exact same thing as another tablet i broke a few years ago by dropping it into water

i dropped my tablet into water and it will not stop rebooting, i have put it into rice and drying bags and it is drying at the moment. What do i do if i can’t turn it off? will it still be okay? is it still possible to save it?

You saved me $1000 bucks! I spilled brandy in my Macbook Air. I followed the logic board removal instructions on another page on this site and then your instructions for cleanup. I did not know that you could soak whole circuit boards in alcohol, brush off the crud, let them dry, and reinstall them with great results. My laptop works perfectly now. Thanks so much!

Crazy ex- boyfriend poured bleach into my Yamaha Motif 6 music production workstation keyboard. After discovering bleach dripping from the vents, I never turned it on and it stood untouched for over 3 years.  I replaced that machine, but I'm wondering. Did this caustic liquid evaporate or is it perhaps rusted inside? I'm not knowledgeable about this sort of thing, and Id like to ask, what will happen if I turn it on,  now? Is it best to take it apart first before I attempt to power up, or even let an authorized technician take a look and swallow the expense? Any suggestions based on this information would be great. There is not a lot of info out there about bleach inside the interior of electronics. I'm thinking about trading the keyboard for another piece of equipment

I had water get into the charging block for my phone. How do I get it out without breaking it? It's a USB-C charging block if anyone is wondering.

What will I do now that water enters into my sound system (DVD) and my ps2

I spilled refrigerator tap water on the left side of my Acer Chromebook 15, and no sounds come out of it when I watch videos, what’s wrong? How can it be fixed?

Thank you for the advice! My personal DVR remote accidentally fell into a bucket of water. Wasn't working at all. Thought I'd have to buy a new one. Followed as many of the steps as I could, although couldn't get it apart after removing the screw. Removed batteries, turned it face down and shook it to get water out, used cold setting on hair dryer, left it under a lamp. Within 24 hours, it was completely functional again! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I just hope my sleeplessness that is worry triggered over my juice splashed prepaid meter pin pad will subside using this method.

How do I get water out of a xbox one remote

Accidentally, I put the fan's remote control in the washing machine. I dried It up several times but still It is not working. What am I suppose to do next??

Question: What ultrasonic cleaning fluid is suitable. It doesn’t mention this in the article. Thanks in advance.

@mariancali Muchas gracias, me ponía nervioso al leer que una pagina de iFixit recomendaba arroz jejeje. Puede llevar a errores, ahora al menos avisa de lo inútil del arroz en la reparación. Veré mas adelante si puedo mejorar o modificar algo. Un saludo!

What if it’s already dried?

Hi

my phone keeps turning off due to hand sanitiser getting into it Is this acid or alkaline?

was making desert, knocked remote into the cats water dish. AS soon as I cleaned my hands off, i grabbed it and took out the batterys shaking it hard to get the water out, I looked up this page to see what to do. baggie and some ascohal Since I didnt have but about a 1/2 cup, but shock in and out, then I again shook it out, then set it up with the cool setting on my blow dryer for 30 miuets. Seems to be working now-I did add new batterys. Thanks fot the help

“…container filled with isopropyl alcohol. Ideally use a 90% or higher concentration available from a pharmacist or drug store. “

Have only managed to get hold of ethyl alcohol (95%) - is that OK for cleaning smartphone compoments? Read somewhere it could leave some oil residue - is that a substantial risk or negligible? (Don’t have much to lose - phone completely dead - but if it’s certain to make things worse, then no point trying of course.)

What can I do if I just let it dry upside down and put new batteries in and it still won’t work do I need new remote? Or can I open it and see if it has corrosion

how take xbox ones case off

I accidentally spilled water from my bong on my PS4 and I tried to let it dry out all day but nothing's working and idk what to do.

I have an Inspiron 7506 2 n1 I thought I was buying NEW from Best Buy, that Dell told me was manufactured years earlier and resold. That is a separate issue. Last night w had a sudden and tremendous downpour for about 20 minutes. My laptop was in the bag but must have gotten wet. It worked three hours ago, but now as I type, it just types gibberish and things pop p on the screen.

Is it repairable, and If so, how?
