So I am an idiot and left my flipper in my pants pocket one evening and ran it through the washer and dryer. Is there any hope for it working? I have gotten it to power on since then but it shows the battery with a dash through it and it is constantly blinking red and green. I hope all hope isnt lost for repair as its less than a month old. Thanks for any advice in advance.

- Make sure it’s completely dry… Maybe the dryer did that already? I might open it to verify it’s dry by disassembling and placing it in silica gel or another desiccant. Astra says you need a PH0 screwdriver and Ifixit says PH1. I’ll leave that up to you.
- Remove the SD card and verify it is functional or just replace it altogether.
- If you didn’t disassemble it then Reboot with hotkeys. It should not be plugged in at this step.
- Let it charge. Don’t worry if it doesn’t appear to be charging at first.
- See if it now works.
