Help! My Pocket PC is soaked in water when I put it in a non-waterproof bag and travelled in a rainy day.
My Pocket PC screen is half soaked in water now. I could still power on the screen and see all the details, but the touchscreen feature no longer works!
I tried to remove the casing and then the LCD screen, but the front touchscreen is adhered to the LCD screen.
My Pocket PC is Toshiba e310, and warranty already expires long ago. What can I do to remove the water between the touchscreen and the LCD screen?
Please help, thanks~
Hey Olleh,
I did something similar to my e800 (except it was glass cleaner, not water). The only thing that worked was waiting. And waiting. It took about 3 weeks but the cleaner eventually evaporated out and the touch screen worked again. (of course, I didn't know this at the time, so I went out and bought a new ppc. oops!)
The trick that saved me in the past for other electrical equipment is using a radiator - this even worked on a remote dropped in a pint of beer by a drunk flatmate.
Place the PPC screen down on a warm radiator (not hot else your get a wet melted PPC screen)- make sure you remove everything you can - battery, stylus, memory cards, even the covers, aerial? etc. If you only have a very hot radiator put a thick cloth down first.
