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.

I bet a lot of us (mentors and students) got into this line of work first because we wondered how things work, and stayed in it because we thought "I can make that work better". Thus starts a life-long battle between perfection and time. So far, time is ahead. - petek [more]
