What do I do in this situation? It just dropped in for a second, do I leave it to dry out for a while? I took it partially apart and just hope the electronics are not screwed.

Damn giant cargo pockets, damn them!



Wahhhh! :cry:

Advice, anyone?

Let it dry out. Don't turn it on until it is dry. I know of some that have been laundered and survived. And some that didn't. Don't Panic!

Excellent, thanks you guys! The screen on this thing doesn't seem to have suffered, no "rainbowing" or anything going on. I'm hoping it works. I'll give it a few days. I just hope the soap didn't affect anything.

Soak it in vinegar.

Sorry. That's my advice when computer equipment doesn't work. As kind of an object lesson or something.

So, take an old calculator or something, and soak that in vinegar. Make sure to do this in front of the PSP. So it knows what kind of treatment awaits if it doesn't shape up when you go to turn it on.

:thumbsup:

Excellent!

It'll give me something to do while I wait for the game to dry. :yay: . I wonder what would happen if I bleached a cellphone?

These things happen. I've got a USB flash memory drive that's been through the laundry twice and still running.
