Hannah Checker got wet, now it wont go past the C1 step... Tried cleaning the corrosion

Might be a goner. Need some more research. @StatelineReefer didnt you pull one apart that you had that got wet?
Any ideas or tips?

 

[Nate Chalk]

I did try throwing it.

 

[Nate Chalk]

Kept fiddling with it.

Used baking soda and a brush to get it clean. Rubbing alcohol. And... It appears to be working ?!

New batch of reagents tomorrow. So will throw a test in there and see.

Hannah checker fix didn't work. Got greeted by bad batt error.

I spiked it on the ground smashing it and bought a new one.

Felt good after a day in the office.
