Pinebook got wet
#1
Hi,

I could use some advice. I placed my Pinebook Pro near an open window and it rained on it a bit.

The lid was closed . Not soaked but there was some water on the inside, on the screen and keyboard. It does not boot anymore.

I opened it up. There was a little bit of water on the battery. Not a lot. Did not see any other wet spots. The charging light goes off after a couple of minutes when I connected the barrel plug.

I disconnected the battery and connected the bypass connector to power it without the battery. When I insert the barrel plug the green light goes on for a moment. The power button gives no effect.

I have the device now standing folded open with the battery disconnected and the back plate removed. To air it. 

Anything I can do besides of waiting and hoping? 

Thanks,
Walter
