Yesterday I finally received my 4.5 from America and an hour later I dropped it in my coffee >.<
I really hated myself for that, but this is what I did:
1) I immediately took out the battery and shook the tamagotchi to get the last of the coffee out, and I obviously dried the outside too.
2) Then I put it in two wooly socks so it doesn't overheat, on top of my radiator, and I checked in every time if it didn't overheat too much.
WARNING HERE! DO NOT LET YOUR TAMAGOTCHI GET REALLY HOT! This will destroy it, so keep checking if it doesn't get too hot. It should only feel a bit warm.
3) What I then did was put the vacuumcleaner on my tamagotchi and suck out most of the vaporizing coffee from the battery hole, the buttons, and the edges of the screen. I noticed that most of the coffee managed to get out that way, especially the coffee in the screen.
After a while you will notice that no fluid will come out of it anymore, but there obviously is, and there probably will be some fluid visible in the screen still.
4)Then I put i unto the radiator again inside the two socks, this made the rest of the fluid inside the tamagotchi vaporize a little bit more.
5) And after a while I could vacuum that out again.
6) I repeated this process about 7 times, untill I was absolutely sure that I couldn't see any fluid under the edges of the screen anymore.
And also, the background image in the tamagotchi looked completely dry, and ,because of the vaccuum cleaner, was also sucked straight again, and looked like nothing ever happened.
Last Step Than I put it on the radiator again, inside the two socks. I kept checking if it didn't overheat, and if it'd get too warm I'd take it of immediately and leave it to cool for a couple of seconds.
Last but not least Before you start your tamagotchi again I still suggest you wait a tiny bit longer to be absolutely sure it is dry. But after 5 hours and after checking my tamagotchi thouroughly I was absolutely SURE that it was dry, so I turned it back on, and it worked perfectly!
Except for 4 dead pixels on the left edge of the screen, but it isn't too bad though. I figured something would come from dropping it into coffee I also cannot guarantee this WILL work, because I was just lucky that my tamagotchi happened to survive something horrible like coffee. This is just a method to dry it more quickly.
