Washing the Netgear Ma701

Just so all of you that are interested will know. If you wash the Netgear MA701 in the clothes washing machine, it will work for a few days but then it will fail.

Possibly if I had used the delicate cycle and cool water it may have survived.

I tried this, by accident of course, and I was amazed to find that it did work. Sadly a few days later, it failed and never worked again. Purchased and received my replacement card yesterday.

Lesson learned: Be careful about storing spare cards in your shirt pocket. Problem could be solved if WiFi was built in.

Maybe you shouldn't allow it to dry all the way :p .

Thank you for that, crack me up. But the warning is serious enough those. It could happen.

I have a simpletech 64mb cf that survived a wash, but it had 3 dryer cycles. It might have gotten more time in the dryer, but I finally figured out I lost it.
