Re: Rescuing wet electronics

Rain water is generally pretty clean. To point you cannot use conductive style probes for level detection. I would dissemble cases that can collect water like roboRios & PDBs. Blow nooks & crannies with dry compressed air (good luck with that) or canned air. If it was submersed in flood water a more thorough cleaner like Don suggests is in order.

As a side note IBM used to immerse their mainframes in water for cooling. I understand immersive cooling technology is coming back although generally with fluids other than water.
