Is it possible to fix a gameboy sp that has gotten wet?

My son got a Gameboy SP for Christmas and thought that immersing it in water to clean it was a good idea. The light on the screen will come on, but that is it. You can sometimes hear music from one of his games, but no picture. Is it ruined, or is there something that can be done to maybe fix it???

The best thing would to have been to not turn it on until it was 100% dried out. Since that is no longer an option you may want to disassemble the unit down to the circuit board and let it air dry for several days (until EVERYTHING is completely dry). If you reassemble it and it does not work, it is probably scrap. This method also works for cell phones dropped in beer (don't ask me how I know) . . .





Lastly, you might contact Nintendo and see if they have a replacement/repair policy for a cheaper price than buying a new unit.





Hope this helps.

Your pretty much screwed at this point. Did you let it dry out completely before turning it on?

Reply:Well assuming you dried it out, and stopped playing around with it before you were sure it was dry, then it is probably ruined. Best thing you could try is if you can open it and make sure it is dry totally. Maybe, if you are lucky, it just isn't fully dried.
