My T6220 was submerged in water. I waited approx 2 weeks for it to dry out. It will not power up and suspect it is a lost cause however I would like to disassemble to see if I can "clean it up". Removed battery cover and two screws but cannot get upper portion to release. Any ideas?
Thanks
Open the battery cover, unscrew the two screws towards the bottom. about mid-way up, there is a slot on either side of the radio under where the battery cover would have covered.. there are two tabs that need to be pressed outwards to release the middle. using a small screwdriver (or a blade) gently lift up the plastic display cover- it is only about the thickness of a dime so just barely get an edge and pry upwards.. this will reveal another two screws, unscrew those and you should be all set!
Hi, you might want to try (since it is a lost cause) submerged it again in clean water but rather than wait 2 weeks, force dry the entire assembly using hot or plain compressed air and then plain air dry the circuitry. Personally, I also use a solvent and a toothbrush to clean the printed circuit board. Normally after removing the screws, the two halves of the unit is still locked in place by snap hook(s) that is further away from where the screw holes are. To force it to open, you need to slide between the two halves something to pry it open. Care should be exercised cause cases have been known to crack using this method. Also it can not be helped but get scratches and cuts on the surface of the 2 covers. Likewise, carem must be exercised not to cut or huert yourself. Good luck and hope this be of some help to you. Please let me know how this turns up. Regards.

Wipe
down the baskets with dry paper towel to remove excess grease. Then submerge the baskets into a mixture of
hot water and vinegar for 10-15 minutes and then rinse off with soapy water and
dry.
Unless car is more than 10 years or so old there is no such thing as a free shop/service manual. If you spilled water on unit an did not wat about a week for it to dry out you have toasted the electronics and now that is why you get no turn on. Time to go shopping. Repair not cost effective.
Turn it off! If the water was salty, it gets a bit harder and riskier. If it was a salty water, you have to first put your phone in a non-salty water to get the salt off. Don't leave it there for long, just long enough for the salt to be gone. The time it took in the water it was dropped in is a good choice. Now remember the first step, turn it off! Wait for a couple of days. Wait as long as 4 to 5 days to be sure, because it takes really long for the phone to dry. Don't use a hair dryer! Don't put it on a heater. Just put it someplace dry and cool, not direct under the sunlight but also not in dark. After waiting that long, hopefully your phone will return back to life. If not, you have also lost your chance with the Apple service, because they don't cover water damage. Try your luck though.
not much you can do if it was on when submerged it most likly shorted a fuse or more
if it happen recently and was not powered up when submerge and not tried since (fix) best if taken apart but can do while together
submerge DS in destilled water ... I know sounds crazy but it doesnt have minerials that cause corroding on boards etc that tap and well water have ... let it completely dry for a few days it should power up and be fine.
disassemble it as much as you can. leave it in a dry warm environment for about a week to dry out. put it back together in about a week. charge up the battery and power it up. cross your fingers it may work.
The electronics in the transmit / recieve circuitry (RF = radio frequency) work very differntly from those in the display and control circuits, which prob ablyexplains why the display works, but not the rest.
The major problem with water in RF circuits is that even after it dries out, it leaves a residue, or worse still some corrosion, which adversly affects the tuning of the RF circuits.
It may be worth trying to dry it out a bit more - put it somewhere warm but not humid like near but not too close to a central heating boiler, for a few days. However, I suspect it is now beyond repair.
Check your power cable for any hole and damage, that might be the problem
if not
remove the 2 screw where the cable is connect on the pump, gently pull off the ruber from the cord and check if your 3 wire are wet ? and if any water can come out of the cable hole?
if yes you have to take most of the pump appart to make the stator and rotor get dry and also check for any black part on the stator, to make sure it not burn if you cant find any black spot on the part let it dry for a week and spray some air on the stator everyday and your problem will be fix,
At our big factory we use special oven to dry the part quicker
If you have no water that came out from the inside of the pump it has to be the power cable or your breaker the reason why the pump work fine when only the base is submerge is because the pump have less restriction (Water to push) so the engine work is very light compare when she is submerge and have to push so much water alll the way throught the hose.
If you look really hard can you see the items on the screen but they are really dark? If so the back light for the lcd may have burned out.
Take a look at the following site for instructions on disassembly.
http://www.gsfx.org/disassembly/index.htm
If you feel comfortable with it, you can easily replace your own. A new lcd runs about 50 dollars shipped. If you buy it from ebay, they
will usually come with instructions and the screwdriver you need. A T6
torx driver is the type needed.
Hi, pls, soaked as in submerged or drenched like under the rain? If the laptop was submerged, then you not only have problem with the motherboard and hard drive but likewise with the lcd panel; the most I can suggest is to try and recover your files from the hard drive if they are important. If just drench, then you have to disassemble and clean the inside circuitry using a chemical compound for that purpose such as carbon tetrachloride. Be careful since it's strong enough to damaged some plastic. Pay special attention to the push in connectors and the pins of the components such as the ics. Hope this works out for you. Good luck and regards.
