Is there any way to repair my AF Minolta binoculars?
I have a pair of Minolta AF binoculars, which stopped working after being caught in heavy rain. I have partially taken them apart and cleaned the surface of the main circuit board. I'm not sure how to dissemble them further, for more cleaning. The battery-powered on-off button flashes a few times and then switches off, instead of remaining on.
Reviewed the sidebar questions for help? Disassembling as much as possible allows warm air to evaporate remaining moisture deep in cracks and crevices. Leaving the main body in a gas oven with only the pilot light providing warmth can help over a 24 hour period. A warm boiler can be used too, laying the binocular on top as warmth helps evaporation. Once dried, using a can of compressed air may blow out remaining moisture and minute debris, Unfortunately, rain may have minute particles mixed in to allow electrical conduction, possibly creating a short circuit condition, irreparably damaging electronics. Optical sensors soaked from rain water may need careful cleaning with a Q-tip with lens cleaning solution. If you're lucky, drying out the entire binocular electronics may restore full function.
