Abstract

A method and apparatus for drying electronic devices are disclosed. Embodiments include methods and apparatus for heating and reducing pressure within electronic devices. Some embodiments increase and decrease pressure while heating. Other embodiments include a dryer for removing moisture from the air exhausted from the electronic device before it reaches the exhaust pump. A further embodiment senses the humidity within the low pressure chamber and determines when to increase and / or decrease the pressure based on the humidity. Still further embodiments determine that the device is sufficiently dry to restore proper function based on detected humidity and, in some embodiments, changes in humidity when pressure is increased and / or decreased. Still further alternative embodiments automatically control some or all aspects of the drying of the electronic device. Additional embodiments sanitize electronic devices.

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...
