Abstract

Methods and apparatuses for drying electronic devices are disclosed. Embodiments include methods and apparatuses that heat and decrease pressure within the electronic device. Some embodiments increase and decrease pressure while adding heat. Other embodiments include a desiccator for removing moisture from the air being evacuated from the electronic device prior to the air reaching an evacuation pump. Further embodiments detect humidity within the low-pressure chamber and determine when to increase and / or decrease pressure based on the humidity. Still further embodiments determine that the device is sufficiently dry to restore proper function based on the detected humidity, and in some embodiments based on the changes in humidity while pressure is being increased and / or decreased. Still further alternate embodiments automatically control some or all aspects of the drying of the electronic device. Additional embodiment disinfect the electronic device.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 593,617, filed February 1, 2012, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 638,599, filed April 26, 2012, which are incorporated by reference in their entirety at this. technical field [0002] Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to repair and maintenance of electronic devices, and to repair and maintenance of electronic devices that exhibit at least partial non-function due to moisture intrusion. Background technique [0003] Electronic devices are frequently manufactured using ultra-precise parts for a tight fit to complete dimensions, with the intention of preventing moisture from entering the interior of the device. Many electronic devices are also manufactured to be difficult for an owner and / or user to disassemble without rendering the device inoperable even before attempting to dry it. With the continued miniaturization of electronic devices and increasingly powerful comput...
