enginear joe Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Something new for even me. I set my remote down as I locked up out back. This morning I found it all wet from the rain right where I left it. I may get lucky as I set it face down? I got spoiled running in the basement for all these years. I parked the trains wherever they sat, and quit for the evening. It only rained a few times down there! This great outdoors thing is getting to me. Every session I have to clear the track of debris. The weather turned and now I'm parked. Looks like I get to spend some time drying out the remote! Urrrggg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman4449 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Hmmm not sure on this one, hopefully it still works once it's fully dried out. I would let it sit a good long while in a dry place to make very sure it's completely dry before trying to power it up. If it was me I'd probably set it aside for a week or so taken apart and use another remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant-Kerr Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Open it up and use a hairdryer on low setting to blow warm air into it and dry it out completely. Used to do that on PC boards after a lot of soldering and then wash down with soapy water. Just make sure it is dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
