⚡ Fastest Solution: Adjustable Temperature Drying Oven (Recommended, Highest Efficiency)
This is the most commonly used professional method in industrial maintenance, offering fast drying speed and minimal damage to equipment:
First, drain any standing water from inside the oven shell and use a lint-free cloth to absorb any surface water.
Place the equipment (with the lid open) into the drying oven, set the temperature to 45℃-50℃, and do not exceed 50℃.
Close the door and dry for 3-4 hours until completely dry, several times faster than air drying.
Note: Do not use high temperatures (above 60℃), as high temperatures will melt the solder and damage the image sensor and plastic components.
Home/No Professional Equipment Solution: Anhydrous Alcohol + Hair Dryer (Cool Air) Method If you don't have a drying box, you can use this method as an emergency, which is faster than air drying:
Pour out any excess water and absorb surface moisture. Immerse the entire device in anhydrous alcohol (95% purity or higher) and gently shake for half a minute. The alcohol will displace any remaining moisture in the crevices.
Remove the device and drain the alcohol. Then, use a hair dryer on the cool air setting, at a distance of at least 30cm, to slowly blow air into the device for 10-15 minutes. The evaporating alcohol will carry away any remaining moisture.
Finally, place the device in a well-ventilated area for 30 minutes to allow the alcohol to completely evaporate before testing.
⚠️ Never use hot air; always use cool air. Otherwise, you may easily damage components.
❌ Incorrect Methods to Avoid:
Exposing the device to direct sunlight: This will accelerate the aging of the sealing ring and may cause the glass window to crack due to uneven heating.
Baking in an oven/microwave: Temperature cannot be precisely controlled, directly damaging the circuit board and plastic parts.
Wiping with toilet paper/regular towels will leave paper scraps and fibers stuck to the lens, making cleaning more troublesome.
