Nyctoos Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I woke up this morning and I found that my stylus was in the kitchen sink. I don't know how it got there, but I'm a little more than very upset. I took it out and dried it off and put it close to the tablet and it doesn't work anymore. I shook it up a bit to get any last bits of water out of it as last measure. What do? Will I have to buy a new? My tablet is a Bamboo Capture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecapitatingJim Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) You're probably going to have to get a new one. If you cant get all the water out, or if you have gotten it all out and it still wont work then it most likely is dead. On a side note why was it in the sink anyway....

inorite3 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) Apparently rice helps get the moisture out. That's how my uncle got his phone to work after dropping it in a river. Don't know if it'll work on your stylus though.. Edited July 6, 2013 by inorite3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just say- well, I think this is cosmic pay back. But that's a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalGerbil Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 you will more than likely have to get a new pen. unless its still under warranty. the stuff inside doesn't react well to things like soap. much less if its soaked in it for a while.
