Topic: HELP 911 EMERGENCY HD-P2 AND BEER!!

What about the beer, was it salvaged at all?

<jk> Best of luck on the repairs and there is plenty of good advice above.

keep your Tascam away from this chick!




If she puts the beers down, do I have to stay away from her?  Maybe she could loan you her shirt to dry things off a bit....

Glad you got it taken care of. When I dunked my cell phone I went online to see what to do and there is abundant info. For those who dunk their electronic equipment in the future: If it's dunked in something other than water, immediately rinse it in water (you don't want sticky crap in there when it dries). Then put your oven on the lowest setting and cook it for 4 hours with the battery removed. After that, it's all better. I did this and my phone was perfect. My oven is a gas one and I was concerned that even the lowest setting was too hot, so I left the oven open a little. The key to this working it to do it before there has been any chance of corrosion (within 24 hours).

I spilled beer on my own R-4!   And yes, I'm a dumbass...  Worked perfectly ever since, except now the display is funky...

I had the same thing happen to me http://taperssection.com/index.php/topic,79907.0.html and I thought I fried it.  I took the top off, let it dry out for a few more days,  took out all the buttons from the top and soaked them in the other kinda alcohol.  I swabbed down the top of the pcb with alcohol let it dry again for a few days and she powered right back up again.  What a PITA but it stills going strong.  Good Luck

Got a full beer spilled on the front of my hd-p2, it was vertical and upright.  Everything was all connected and running powered her down wiped it up.  Connect power to it and it seems none of the buttons on the top or face are working.  Should I open her up and let it dry and then re-try?  Am I fucked?  Got a full lineup of shows coming up....

PS - If I can't get it up and running.  Do I contact oade about a fix since he modded it?  Or do I send directly to tascam for a fix? 

Do not power this up for at least a week of drying out.. Then you can take 100 % alcohol and cotton swabs and remove the sticky beer.

FWIW, I dunked my cellphone in the toilet, and putting in a sealed plastic bag with some uncooked rice helped dry it out (rice sucks the moisture right up)

Why would you do that??

do your HD-p2 a favor and buy it a nice porta brace bag for it!
It fits it like a glove and will take the brunt of any liquid poured directly on it.
Although I don't recommend doing that again.
Actually my preamp and p2 have porta braces as an extra layer of protection plus I always leave it in the gear bag and the lid closed unless I'm messing around in the bag.
Glad to hear it was a happy ending.

porta brace also sells rain slicks or as I call it ''my beer slick."  I bought it to protect my gear from my beer.
