if you ever dropped water or liquids on a notebook and placed it in a bucket full of rice afterwards, did the notebook work again? (lemmy.ml)

rice absorbs moisture.

Curious if this works to recover notebooks or other electronics.

IPA will likely ruin your laptop screen, so be careful.

True I've had screens on smaller devices go very distorted for a few days after ipa was used elsewhere. They did actually clear and go back to normal mind you and I've never actually went near an actual screen with ipa intentionally.

I mean the soft screens of laptop monitors. IPA will destroy them.

I get it, ipa is good and fixes surprisingly a lot but only ever use it on boards, components and things like buttons and connectors. Keep it away from screens and batteries.

I've always done this honestly maybe I didn't explain well. It does do a miracle job on water damage if done early enough though.
