[ICOM] Water damage to PW-1, now inop

[Jim]

I would be tempted to let it dry out at least a week (covers removed) If
available I would have someone with an air compressor blow air lightly over
the inside of the unit to ensure it's good and dry.

Well - seems like you may have your hands full for another day or so.  Was
it me, I think I would just move it somewhere with as low a humidity as
possible, and let it dry another day or so.  

Also could be some mineral deposit between critical sensing components
causing it to think something is amiss.

Good luck with it.
