So I was doing a tank transfer and To my surprise I noticed my Ecotech Radion xr30w pro g4 light went for a swim. Any advice or similar experiences?

I have never had it happen to myself, but you can try and put in in rice to absorb and moisture. Also, have you removed the bezel to see if any water got inside and then put it in rice?
Thank you very much imma remove the bezel as welli sat it in front of the fan for about 24hrs I thought about doing the rice process
Like with any electronic that goes for a swim, disassemble as much as possible, pat dry as much as possible, place in rice to remove the remaining moisture. It can appear dry and still short out due to moisture so a rice bath IMHO is a must.
When done plug back in to a gfci outlet from a safe distance and pray. Goodluck.
This is the correct answer - I soldered under a microscope for 2 years and alcohol is always the solutionRice is a total myth and that goes with trying to use it for any electronic device that’s water damaged because once the water gets in and shorts it, rice can’t undo that. Best thing is to take it apart, take the whole board out get some isopropyl alcohol 90% or higher and a tooth brush scrub the whole board down with it , it will clean corrosion if there is any.
