sandisk cruzer mini 512MB

I accidentally put my key through the washing machine and in the meanwhile, I am waiting for it to dry out so I won't short it out when I plug it in. Do the internal components of this product oxidize, so that I need to speed up the drying process somehow, or is it fine for me to leave to dry slowly?

 

It should be OK if it dries slowly. Just be 150% sure that it's 200% dry before you plug it in. A friend was helping a guy clean some junk out of a back yard and in this junk he found an old Pentium2 IBM tower. The case hadn't been closed up properly and it had been sitting out in the elements for over 18 months: leaves in the power supply, mud, etc... He took it home, actually WASHED IT OUT with a garden hose, took it apart and let it dry in the summer shade for about 4 days. He hooked up a new power supply (the old one was a lost cause) and the darn thing WORKED, well, it posted. The hard drive was dead. Anyway, had an old 8gb HD laying around and he still has this PC running Win2000 to this day as an Office PC for Word, Excel, and internet business transactions. Runs like a champ!
(sorry for the long, drawn out story, but I was making a point )

 

That's cool. I've put in a warmer room so it will dry out faster. Thanks for the info
