Water + PDA = Hosed

After wondering where my PDA had wandered off to, I found it in my pants pocket.
The pants that I pulled out of the washing machine and was about to toss in the dryer.

Oh. Crap.

This is what it looked like when I put it on the cradle.

See the pretty cloud background? That’s not a background image.

I was actually quite surprised it even turned on. Then it did this

The T3 only has power when it’s on the cradle, so I suppose that means it’s pretty much dead.

I guess this will be my chance to ugprade. It’s too bad Palm doesn’t have anything I want to upgrade to. Guess I’ll be surfing the internets looking for a used T3.

  1. you might still be able to fix it. see if you can take it apart and wash the inside down with distilled water. then let it dry completely for a couple of days before you connect the power.
    it might come back to life, although the screen will never recover. but it worked on a few laptops I had clients spill drinks on, worth a try.
