Thread: Anything i can do other than send for service

Get you a plastic container that you can seal up good that finder will fit in and deep enough that a bed of rice and finder will sit on. Get you a big bag of rice and pour you a good bed. Then place finder in leave card door open making sure not to get any rice in it. Seal up and forget it for a week or two. That rice should absorb most if not all that moisture. Then hook it up and try it. Or you could call bird and see if they might not warranty it.

X2 on the rice idea. That has saved many a waterlogged electronic device for me. iPods, cameras, phones, etc.... I had a phone that spent a couple hours on the bottom of a creek after I had a car wreck. After I found it I took it home and put it on rice for 10 days (I also threw a few of those packets out of beef jerky in with it). And when I pulled it out of the rice, I charged it and it worked like new! Used it another 2 years. I would definently give rice a try
