CF cards got wet

[DavidC1980]

One of my CF cards ended up in the washing machine as I somehow left it in my jeans pocket. I thought it would be a gonner but it still works fine. It's been a couple of months since then and it still works 100%. It's a a Kingston 266x card

Thanks everyone, ok so I have taken everyone's advice on board, I've cleaned the cards with the water from my condenser tumble dryer and they are drying on my radiator still. How long should I leave them to dry for before testing them?

Give them a couple of days to throughly dry, last thing you want is any moisture in there as you power them up
