Why are electrical devices like cell phones or Xbox One controllers no longer working when they come in contact with a relatively large amount of water?
I wanted to clean the controller because it was so dirty, clean it, let it dry, now it's not working anymore? Why is that, what exactly does the water do? I would be interested…
I would say short circuits inside cause (or you have the controller for cleaning and dry taken apart?) and possibly cause corrosion. Then moisture in resistors, diodes or capacitors etc. Could also penetrate…
The electrical conductivity of water is high, which destroys sensitive components such as CMOS devices or capacitors on the circuit board.
The water transfers the power of the batteries (after insertion) to these components with more current (short circuit) than it does well.
Moisture in the device can last a very long time and then creeps where it should not.
Then let it dry too
Surely he was not dried inside. When you turn it back on, the water will direct the stream to where it should not flow.
No, I have the oven in the oven for at least 3 hours at 50 ° dried, that breaks so fast directly, I would not have thought. Too bad, but thanks for the explanation
He does not even turn on. And I dried the bestimtm more than 3 hours in the oven… That's so fast broken. Well thanks anyway
Well, moisture can also be "trapped" in components, and water also contains minerals that can evaporate and also conduct electricity. Capacitors even store electricity and could then give it "unfavorable" by closing the circuit by moisture…
In the oven? At what temperature? Medium or well done?
When water runs up, it takes days for it to dry.
