Wet APEX Display Module..

[aherre07]

Well as the title mentions I had the priviledge of unclogging an overflow yesterday (snail) and as I was disassembling the plumbing I happen to knock my diplay module into my Brute with freshly mixed SW. After a few moments of cursing and complaining I rushed to place the display in a bag of rice. I opened it up and left it in the rice for about 5 hours to see if by any chance it would absorb the moisture.

Long story short after 5 hours in the rice I put it back together and plugged it in to the head unit........AND it worked!! All is well and thought I'd share with you all in case this ever happens to you there is hope in getting it to work again..

Glad to hear it worked out! When I read the title, that's exactly what I was going to suggest. If it works for cell phones, why not a controller? 1smile1

Must have been a ton of rice to be super absorbant.

Thanks for the idea :)v

LOL, it was actually a small bag of rice that i poured over the display (which i had opened up) in a bowl. I dont know if it was too much or just enough but I sure am glad that it worked out.

I wouldnt be surprised if Neptune put a waterbroof coating on their circuit boards just in case that were to happen..they should with the money they cost :P
