Exactly what the title says. No this is not a troll post. There was some hardstuck water in my Holas which sunlight couldn’t remove.
While I knew that my Holas have a N52 magnet inside them and that this could go horribly wrong because of the Faraday’s cage, I thought just 2-3 seconds of microwaving wouldn’t do anything. Also had this exact thought running in my mind “bad things don’t happen to me” right before putting them inside. I was in semi-denial.
The driver tore off in a somewhat audible boom and now the right one doesn’t work. The cable is fine because I didn’t put it in the microwave, but the washing machine destroyed the mic last month and now it responds in flat noise.
Luckily they were worth only $20 but I’m still a student so it was somewhat major of a loss. In need of advice if recovery is possible.
TL;DR: Don’t microwave your IEMs.
Please also do not dry off your kitten or dog in the microwave. I feel like you might be one of those people that the sticker had to be designed for.
bro, why didn’t you use isopropyl alcohol?
that’s it you’re permabanned!
I’ve read somewhere that sticking them in your butt can help reactivate the glue of the driver to the shell. You could try that ?
My only advice is. Stay in school. Don’t do drugs.
Rookie mistake. You gotta put them under the broiler on high heat for 45 minutes now
The government needs to give you a free lifetime public transport card because there is no way having you behind the wheel of a car is safe
Here i thought the internet couldnt make me any dumber…
You could.have simply put them in a bowl of rice. Leave it on a heater for some extra minimal warming and wait a 2-3 days…but nooo
It seems like everyone on reddit is getting lost and posting in the wrong subreddits lol did you mean to post this on r-slash-stims?
Microwave your head maybe it’ll cancel out
So this is the first option that came to mind and not dry them under the sun? lol
What?
My friend, you just recreated an MRI machine + magnet scenario and are asking if your earbuds can be recovered? Why did you skip trying to dry them with silica gel packets or a hairdryer on low setting and go straight for a radioactive box?
My last two braincells started fighting each other to be the third one after reading this…
