Sony PSP + Bathtub = Bad .. :(

12-03-2007, 07:15 PM

I came home from the gym and my son was hiding in fear because he went to empty the babies bath to take a shower and had his PSP in his pocket. well it fell into the water and he freaked out. he pulled it out and was smart enough to yank the battery out right away. he took everything out and opened all the doors on it. He thought i was going to kill him but i can't get mad at an accident and kinda felt bad for him. I gave him mine and he felt a bit better and I'll just get another if its shot.

this happen to anyone else? what are the chances for this thing drying out and working OK?

stick it in the dehumidifier for a couple of days.. make sure it is very very dry before attempting to turn it on.. if it's not already fried it may still work.

Most solid state stuff like that should be OK. Just don't turn it on for a couple days. Take a hairdryer to it as well.

If it didn't short, it might be okay when it dries.

I would remove the case if you can do that easily enough. You can clean any circuit boards that are exposed afterwards with rubbing alcohol, if you're worried about dirt or soap that may have made it on to the board.

He did the right thing by yanking the battery. Like everyone says, just let it dry out for a couple of days and give it a shot. I have my doubts about the screen being ok. At least the newer slim PSPs are cheap. The one that includes Family Guy and the Daxter game is a hell of a deal.

the psp is a pretty solid build. if he got it out quickly, and popped the battery out and all that, i doubt it took on enough water to fuck it up. i dropped my ipod in a creek once by accident, and i thought for sure it was caked, but the next day it was working just fine.

Don't turn it on for quite a while... water can stay inside for a long time. Put it somewhere dry for a week or longer, maybe a sealed bucket with a container of silica gel or other chemical drying agent in it.

Good to see its working again. Poor kid must have been scared, to them thats a lot of money and thinking they broke it must have upset him. Nice touch doing what you did tho by giving him yours and tell him its ok.

man you must run your house with a iron fist. lol I took a photography class and the guy said keep a bottle of rubbing alcohol in your bag. If the camera falls in the water, take out the compact flash and the battery and cover it with the rubbing alcohol it will draw most of the water out of it. Never tired it myself.

Hey that happened to me with a wallet. lol It was in my dress shirt pocket and I leaned over to flush and into the bowl of shit it fell. Since it had a bunch of cash in it I had to suck it up and get it out. Wasnt hungry for lunch after that. lol

My son had a game boy advance go through the wash once in his jeans. Found it when I pulled the clothes out to put in the dryer. Put it in a jar of rice for a few days, turned it on, good as new.

When I got water on my laptop I was told to leave it for 3 days. I didn't and had to get it fixed.
