if you ever dropped water or liquids on a notebook and placed it in a bucket full of rice afterwards, did the notebook work again?

rice absorbs moisture.
Curious if this works to recover notebooks or other electronics.
You're viewing a single thread.
Use desiccants instead of rice and never power it on until completely dry
Yeah the rice is only going to get tiny particles of rice inside the device and otherwise not assist in drying out even slightly making the issue worse
Use airflow instead of a desiccant. Much more effective.
Stuff like silica gel can work fine, but you need to use a lot of it in an enclosed space (even better if you can circulate warm air through it) but, yeah, airflow does work just fine pretty much anywhere.
Maybe where you live haha
It works in Louisiana, so it's not climate dependent.
The humidity is near 100% most of the year here
Same with Louisiana. There were several times when it looked like it was raining, but it was just so humid water was condensing into droplets.
Like fog?
No, there wasn't any fog. It seemed like it was drizzling, but it wasn't
And open it up and clean the shit out of it because non-distilled water leaves a lot of contaminants even after it dries.
