my friend actually poured redbull over my vamo attached with a 510 atty while i was not there thinking it will give him a better kick -.- soon the screen started to get a little weird so i offed the device. once i went home, i fully charged my batt and put it back in the vamo. now the screen display seems spoilt as all the numbers its showing seems distorted. the device still works though but without a proper display screen the device is still pretty much useless. is there anything i can do to save my vamo now?

ok... I can teach how to salvage it. Read Carefully.

  1. Dismantle Vamo.
  2. Remove internal components very very very carefully. Do not break anything.
  3. Spray the circuitry with copious amounts of Electronics Contact Cleaner(Can get from HomeFix, Selfix or Sim Lim Tower)
  4. Pay attention to nooks and crannys by spraying them more.
  5. Wait for it to dry NATURALLY
  6. Repeat Steps 3, 4 & 5 three times.
  7. Use a hair dryer to blow hot air at the circuit board for 10mins
  8. Put it in a container filled with Silica Gel(Make the silica gel is blue)
  9. Leave it alone for 48 hours.

this MAY be able to revive your Vamo since you mentioned that the display has gone a bit distorted and it seems that the high current parts is not affected yet.

That said..... it can also kill it beyond repair.
