I washed the GPS TomTom ... can it be fixed? How to get the water out???


Question Posted Friday September 17 2010, 7:47 pm

I was doing laundry last night and washing some pants. I threw the clothes in without checking the pockets and I guess the Tom Tom was in one of the pairs of pants. It wasn't the entire cycle on warm with the laundry detergent. When I was moving the clothes over to the dryer I saw the TomTom at the bottom under a pair of pants. I didn't really know what to do but it's not even a year old and I can't believe I did this. I didn't turn it on but you can hear the water in it. Is there anything I can do to get the water out, dry the TomTom up, and make it usable again? The GPS has been really handy and I'd hate to have to throw it away and buy a new one (expensive)! Any ideas? It's a touch screen too so it'd have to entail getting water out of a touchscreen if that makes a difference?
