Found my thumbdrive in the washing machine

[mercanucaribe]

But it works perfectly after I let it dry out on a piece of cardboard laid on top of a lamp. :thumbsup: to Sandisk!

Was it on gentle cycle?

My wife did the same thing to my SanDisk, still works perfectly. 🙂

I hate the mag now, but maxPC did the same test and it worked fine

 

[spacejamz]

didn't some dude post about how he found his lexar drive a few weeks later after it rained/snowed, then he washed it afterwards accidently and it still worked?

doesn't surprise me... but put a mechanical device in there like a HDD and see how it works after drying. 😉

Would be fine if you put it in a waterproof foam-lined silicone jacket. 🙂

Well, Dynamism is an importer-they're gonna charge more. 🙁
You can probably find some cheaper one on ebay.

That's prolly why it survived! I doubt that it's survive if you had the "Heavy Duty" (or Whitest whites) cycle with hot water :Q
