Has anyone had their fob go through the wash? I just realized mine did. I'm going to let it dry before pushing any buttons, but has anyone had it happened and what were the results?
I dropped mine in a lake once. It was only submerged for a few seconds, but it WAS under completely. It was fine right away. They are designed to be somewhat waterproof. But your situation is more extreme, so I don't know.
My hubby has saved a couple of cell phones with the bag of rice trick. Worth a try. The rice absorbs the moisture that would otherwise linger inside of the fob.
Yes and I didn't have a problem using it right after it went through. Though after five years the batteries are starting to crap out. I am get noticably less range out of it.
