Tried using a hairdryer on a water damaged laptop from a flood in Houston and it actually worked

I was sure the logic board was toast, but after 15 minutes on low heat (and a full day in a bag of rice, I know, I know) it booted right up. Anyone else had a weird fix like that actually save a device?

Houston flood water is no joke, that stuff is corrosive. Getting a logic board to survive a full day in that is a genuine miracle. You really dodged a bullet there.

My buddy's truck got swamped last year. His phone was in the cup holder and it was totally fried, like the charging port turned green. That water just eats everything.

Wait, the charging port actually turned green? That's insane.
