MP3 players: HELP - Creative Zen Micro through wash
HELP - Creative Zen Micro through wash
by cman200 - 11/21/05 11:24 PMAbout 24 hours ago my precious zen micro went through the wash.(Not the dryer) I noticed that blue crust on the battery, so that might be the only problem. I don't have another one to try. Is there anything I can do or need I cough up another 2 bills to Creative Labs for another one?
Insurance

nope

Sure, but you may be out of luck...

For the battery... use baking soda on a rag to rub off the minor corrosion. Use sandpaper or a file to scrape off the particularly bad corrosion.
For the electronics, swab them with electronics-grade isopropyl alcohol.
Once you've cleaned the whole thing up, make sure it's absolutely bone dry before trying to turn it on again.
