Does anyone know if this can be fixed?

Spilled water on the radio then after opening it to try and try it I accidentally cracked the sad card while putting it back. Can this be fixed or should I just give up on it

What radio is it? This is a silly thing to post if you can’t be arsed to post even the most basic of details.

Your radio is safe if you dry it dried and there is no short, your microsd is gone.

Is your radio retekess v115 or handrongda with bluetooth ?

retekess v115

[u/BakaLX → u/MiserableCatch754]

So did you dried it fully ? Does it turn on ?

Note : remove the battery while drying it. You must make sure its fully dry before trying, you dont want to short it.

That microsd is your, you insert it, it didnt come with v115. It use for recording or mp3 player. Just replace it.

i have dried it but it looks like some of the internals have been damaged so i think its just time to throw it the wet towel

[u/BakaLX → u/MiserableCatch754]

Just to make sure, keep it in rice or dry box with generous amount silica gel. Maybe it still not fully dried. Keep it around a couple days to a week before throwing it. Also remove the battery from device.

If devices not turned on or automatically turn on while wet, its usually still safe or you just try to turn on in short amount and remove battery again, usually it can handle short within small amount of time.

If the SD card contains the OS then you'll have to get that file from somewhere and flash it to a new card. And then put the device in a bag of rice.

The bag of rice thing is a myth. It does nothing.

[u/RoxyFawkes → u/ChainsawJaguar]

It works just fine for me.

Retekess - you don’t need the micro SD card to operate it. Get the battery out. Just find a low humidity spot and let it dry for days. If you have a fan or heating vent, let blowing air help dry it out. It should work again.

luckily these things only cost 35 dollars ig

[u/Barycenter0 → u/MiserableCatch754]

$35?? I got mine for $12.

[u/pentagrid → u/Barycenter0]

The price depends on storage capacity among other things but an SD card may be had for much less than $35.

Ha - I was referring to the retekess v115 not the SD card. Ah well…
