Signs of Life?

Well, I have been mourning over my Treo for a few days now. I miss it!

Anyhow, I decided to put the battery back in for a second to see what happened (since the unit appeared dry). I got a color bar screen, and the words "BootLoad 2.04" (or something to that affect). Hmmm... at least it does that!

So, I went and got a T5 torx and started to pull the unit apart. No broken parts in doing it! I then rinsed it with the highest grade of ethanol I could find (70%). Got a lot of sand and salt out of the unit. The screen looks "interesting" with its pattern from the salts drying in it. I have rinsed the screen several times and the pattern appears to be going away.

I am now going to let it dry completely from the ethanol (shouldn't take nearly as long as the water), and put the unit together. Who knows? It might actually live!
