Had a downpour and I left the Maverick sender unit outside DUH......Opened up the battery compartment and it is full of water, dried it off, new batteries and it is dead...any ideas on how to fix? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Ugh, bummer. Mine has never let water in, sorry to hear it.
Just wondering, was it face up or face down, was it sitting in a pool?
Was the lid on correctly?
When you opened it was the seal positioned correctly?
I have successfully rescued watered electronics before. It doesn't always work but it might for ya. First off, remove the batteries and do not attempt to turn it on.
Get it apart ASAP. Be careful prying the case open. I haven't taken it apart but the receiver was held together by some glue.
Remove the circuit board. Get everything else lifted up, looked under. Use bits of paper towel to pick up water. Use a hair dryer on warm (not hot) and give it a good air dry.
Let it sit open on the counter another couple of days. Put it back together and try it.
I understand WD-40 was made to dry out circuit boards, I've not tried it but that might be an alternative.
