Although I am adventurous about working on some computer things, there are a lot of electronic things about which I have no knowledge.
Recently, I was talking to someone who I know is very electronically and computer savvy. She told me if I had a wet electronic device, such as a cell phone, I did not need a commercial drying product. This person, who I trust explicitly regarding electronic devices, said to put the wet electronic device into an airtight (that is the key) container with rice, and let it sit some several hours (24 or more.)
Hmmm. I grew up in a part of the world where the ambient environment was sometimes very humid. My mother put rice in the salt shaker to keep the salt from clumping when it was humid.
This is an old solution to a new problem.
Isn't that interesting. As I age, I realize that there are a lot of tried and true solutions that take care of problems.
The more things change, the more they stay the same?
