Gatorade on the dvd player .......

My daughter has spilled gatorade on her portable dvd player ....for the most part the spill only appeared to be on the outside but i'm sure that can't be totally 100%. i unplugged the cords and listened into the speakers...it sounds like this crackling sound. is there anything i can do to salvage this thing?

According to a computer professional I used to know, if the drink contained sugar it is often a waste of time attempting to fix...

The only thing I can suggest is to dismantle it, discover the sticky areas with a light dusting of talcum and shaking or blowing away the talcum that doesn't stick.
Sticky areas should be sluiced away with pure water and a clean soft paintbrush, localised drying gently with a low powered hair dryer and then place it all in the airing cupboard for a couple of weeks.

Yep get a bag big enough to hold the device & put it in dry uncooked rice, BUT please firstly cover any cable ports on the device with small clear tape to prevent any blockages to the earphone/cable ports, the rice will absorb the fluid from the device drying it out but you will have to leave it there for a few days to be sure it's fully dry, I have had this work on phones, tablets & laptops. Hope this helps ????

SOURCE: Magnavox MWD200F not working anymore!!!

since you have plugged out the DVD for 3hrs the conclusion is that you will need to take it to a repairman the problem with your DVD is that it got a surge due to the power failure.that sound you are getting is from the little transformer in the power supply,the current stops at the primary windings and is not crossing over the the secondary winding to complete the cycle.good luck i was the one who told you to plug it out for 3hrs

SOURCE: my portable dvd player has sound but no picture on the screen. pl

If you still have use of the on screen menu functions, you can try using the restore to factory setting option in the preferences section of the set-up menu. Press the setup button on the remote control and use the up and down arrows to find and highlight the preferences section, press ok to enter the sub-menu.In the sub-menu use the up and down arrows to find and highlight the default option. Press ok. This will reset the dvd player to the factory settings. If you do not have the use of the on screen menu, you can use the a/v outputs to a external monitor or television to perform the abouve procedure to try to restore the dvd player to normal operation. If all this fails you can call Phillips customer support at this telephone number. 1-888-744-5477 They will be able to help you, either solve your problem or get the dvd player serviced.I hope this information helps you with your problem.

Check you owners manual for the audio settings. Check these pages and note that the underline setting are the factory settings.Pages 37-41.These are the setting most likely changed. You can always reset the player to factory settings. This will most likely restore everything to normal. This procedure can be found on page 47. The reset function is call default. This is a factory reset function.The function is found in the settings menu under the preferences.If you do not have a copy of the owners manual handy, you can use this link and find a pdf copy on the philips website.http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?scy=US&slg=AEN&cat=DVD_HOME_THEATER_CA&sct=DVD_PLAYERS_SU&session=200906 If you still cannot get the player working correctly, you can call the Phillips customer support at this telephone number 1-888-744-5477.

My daughter spilled water on Sony portable DVD player, now it won't turn on

No! when water enters it will rapidly corrode the ic pins and other critical parts, best to replace the player.

How long does it take for a spill to effect a dvd player?

It would usually affect it immediately if it was going to affect it at all. If you spilled something on your DVD player the best thing to do is to just leave it powered off for at least a good 12 hours to let it completely dry out. Do not try turning it on when it is wet. If it is left off and allowed to dry there is a good chance it will not harm the unit in any way.

But if it has not affected it yet, it will not affect the player.

Please make sure you rate my answer 4 thumbs up, it is extremely important to me. I would be forever grateful if you could do so. If you need more help on this question please just respond to my answer here and I will get right back to you.


Thanks

Laptop receiving message: No operating system found

That error usually indicates one of two things, your file system is corrupt and the master boot record or partition tables have corrupted.... or, in light of a liquid being spilled, some possibly got into the laptop.

I'm not sure right off the top of my head, but I think the hard drive has an access door on the bottom. Which you can remove a couple screws to remove the cover. I would visually inspect under that cover, and other covers if any while your at it, to check for any signs that liquid got in it.
