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

Subject: [access-uk] Re: Victor Reader Stream down the
toilet
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.
Regards
David Griffith

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
