# incidents I think there it not a big difference with coffee :) You can save a lot damage by: - when it gets wet remove the battery immediately then: - take the XO apart clean it form salt - let dry ~ 3 days - test it on power supply, without the battery - when switching on, and it works, leave it on for a couple of hours When it broken check the motherboard for corruption and so. # structural issues If it is a general problem you may consider to protect the XO by using a spray that protects it against water. A problem may be that once "salted" motherboards keep attacking humidity from the air. cheers, Marten > Best regards > > Samy > > > _______________________________________________ > Grassroots mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/grassroots -- http://martenvijn.nl Marten Vijn http://martenvijn.nl/trac/wiki/soas Sugar on a Stick http://bsd.wifisoft.org/nek/ The Network Event Kit http://har2009.org 13th-16th August http://opencommunitycamp.org 26th Jul - 2nd August _______________________________________________ Grassroots mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/grassroots
