Unfortunately my old original GoPro got submerged for a few seconds in the casing with the lid closed but not locked/ still open.
Immediately rinsed it for few seconds in fresh water and left for 1 day to dry in sun. Got the SD card out & is fine and footage plays.
Does anyone have any tips or procedures to clean, get salt out etc?? It will NOT turn on.
Many thanks,
Larko.

get a gopro #6.

wash well briefly in distilled water...
then metho to get the water out...
Then into a big bag of rice to dry it out...

I think those three things together are more expensive then an original GoPro.

Yeah I dropped a phone in the dunny twice.
Both times was straight under the tap, then distilled water, 2mins in methanol, then into mum's rice (which now makes you blind if you eat it). Imax, by bag I ment placcy bag, not cloth. Not airy. :)


Those phones both lasted well..... but we're talking back in the push button days of the early 2000's. (Shut up, Loto you were alive then too...)

Now, I reckon a garden variety iPhone 5 in a Lifeproof is the answer....... not an acre of glass that cracks if you look at it funny, not "waterproof" from factory but can't plug in headphones (which means no weather station) .... easy, durable, waterproof.

You guys aren't helping!!!!!

Gave good rinse this morning with battery out etc and has been in sun all day. Will keep it there In bowl of rice all week. Who knows??

^^^ pics or it didn't happen.

We all love to see turtles
