My Sansa Clip survived drowning.
I got one of these 2G Sansas because I've had a 1G for quite a while and love it.
Well the other day after coming home from a long bicycle ride, I pulled off my jersey and forgot that the Sansa Clip was still clipped to it. I proceeded to pour liquid detergent on the jersey and threw it in a big bucket of water. I then proceeded to take a shower. Then it dawned on me that the Sansa was now under water. I continued to shower thinking all was lost.........and happy that at least I have my new 2G Clip that I just bought a few weeks ago.
After the shower, I went to the bucket of water and pulled the Sansa out. I tried to turn it on, but it was dead. Then I thought that at least I should try to dry it out and see what happens.
I put it in the Florida sun for the rest of that day, and most of the next. I then connected it to a charger and it came to life. I let it charge fully and all is well, even the internal mic works. I've been using it for the last few days with no problems.
I am quite surprised, I never expected it to survive drowning. I love my Sana.
