Panteradon Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Thanks guys for the suggestions. I took the box down in the pouring rain last night. I put it in the bathroom were we have heated floors and ran a space heater on it for about 8 hours. This morning I plugged it in and it lives!!!!!DonPS - I will check me boxes from now on to make sure they are latched shut!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckd Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I used to be with an electronics consulting firm that also did low volume manufacturing. We'd normally run our manufactured boards through the dishwasher to clean them up (no soap). As long as they got dried off, no problem!If you ever soak anything like this, simply dry it completely before you fire it up. It'll usually be OK.
