Water in my X30 - Help!

davmft57 · 07-07-07, 05:16 PM

Not sure what to do. Yesterday evening my X30 got water in it. The light on the on/off button turned orange off and on. Now it will not work. I fear all my info is lost in memory.

I thought about opening it up to dry it out, but not sure if this would erase memory. (No I have not syncronized in a long time).

Any thoughts?

Thank you

sorry.. the proper thing would have been to pull the battery, open it up and pull the backup battery, then dismantle and use a hair dryer at low heat (at most). Then put it in a bag with some of those silca anti moisture packets for a day (easy to find in other boxes and bags of electronics). There are some other methods, but thats the home brew method.

Once you've powered it on with the water, and now it doesnt power on, yeah... its dead. Hard to say what the water got to, but at worst, youre probably looking at an ebay unit with a dead screen and using that mainboard.
