That's very assuring, David, and great advice.  I'll leave the Stream well
alone until tomorrow.

 


Cheers

No experience of doing this with a Victor Reader but did exactly this with a
Pure PocketDab 1000  radio after West Ham lost on Penalties in the 2006 FA
cup final to Liverpool.  No I did not throw it down the toilet deliberately
but must have been distracted!  Anyway the radio eventually fully recovered.
I also recovered a digital hearing aid which went in a pocket in the washing
machine .
I find that you need to wait 48hours and would not recommend trying to use
the device until then. Presumably if there is water or dampness in the
device a premature attempt to restart it may short something.

Subject: [access-uk] Victor Reader Stream down the toilet

Hi all

I've just dropped my Stream down the toilet while it was playing (Stop
laughing).  If you must know, I had the stream in a top pocket and was
adjusting the fittings on the seat so, thankfully, it was a clean toilet.

I took the back off the Stream and the battery out then laid all on a towel
in the airing cupboard to dry.  Has anyone else successfully dried out their
Stream and got it working properly again after a dunking?  

As a boy-scout precaution, if it is defunct, I'd like suggestions for a
replacement.  Isn't there a player that's smaller and has an FM radio built
in?  Wonder what my insurance is like.

Cheers

Barry
