[CHEMCHEF]

oh wow, is it ok?
I dropped an led unit in the tank once (it wasn't fully submerged as part of it was still connected to a wire) and i let it dry out/blow dryed it and it worked within 4 hrs.

I did the something before with my pacific sun black python. I immediately took it apart and cleaned every part off with q tips and a little diluted alcohol. Didn't give the saltwater anytime to do damage. Still working fine till this day

the light didnt get fully submerged but is def. not working properly
i have two other ones on the tank. i guess i will try and take it apart to dry it out better. pissed at myself i pretty much flushed few hundred down the drain if its shot....

cant do much about it now i guess. i do like the wood across tank idea-

 

[ecvernon]

Best thing would be to get to it ASAP. Saltwater can do a number on the metal parts and circuit board if it got wet

 

[jgraz]

I did the same thing with a mp 20 driver. Didn't work at all. I opened it up dried it as best I could and then into a bag of rice and in the fridge for a few days. It works perfectly now.

 

[skene]

dry off... and clean with paint thinner. I've dropped numerous things into liquid... paint thinner will clean off any circuit board(s) free of any debris and if there is a chance of anything lingering around this will take it right out.

You however don't need to take my word for it. (I've worked on Bosch computers for a few years modifying the programming and cleaning boards... and one of those computers are worth more than 4 Ai units)

Submerge unit in 90%alc for a few hours then 24-48 hours in a bag full of rice to dry it out. Works with cellphones. Don't ask

 

[thirty6]

Thanks guys. I'm going to give it a shot today, nothing to loose really
