Is the Lakemaster chip waterproof?

[NAGORSKI]

I accidentally washed the chip in my jeans. Is it still going to work?

I doubt if it is called "waterproof". I did the same to 2 different chips in the little LakeMaster case. I opened the case and laid out the 2 chips to air dry for a couple days. Both worked fine for the last week, but now I am having issues with one of them. (which was just an SD card that I use for saving waypoints to my computer so no real harm.)

Best of luck!

Well that gives me a little hope. I have been letting it air dry for a day now. I will try it tomorrow night.

I would let it dry as long as possible at least a week just to make sure. Because if there is any water in it and you power it up, there is a chance your going to fry it.

I bet it works for sure~

Set it in the sunshine on a window sill for a day or two and it should be fine.

put it in a cup of rice for a day or two. Dont touch it at all until at least 24 hours. Then try it out.

hope it helps

Cup or bag of rice trick is one of the best ways to absorb as much moisture as possible out of the card.

Ahhh that's right! I forgot about the rice trick. Heard about that with cell phones. Thanks guys. Guess I'll wait until tomorrow to try it.

I let it air dry for a day and in a cup of rice for 2 days and it still works fine...for now at least. Thanks guys.
