I checked it last night and it rang and went on. It wouldn't go off. The screen is shot--lines across it and what seems to be a bubble in the middle. Put it back in the ziplock bag. The battery must have died because the screen is off now. I also noticed that the Damp Rid is has lumps in it, sort of like when you are mixing a cake. Maybe it is absorbing more moisture. Will try again in about 12 hrs.

You may be surprised. Let it dry out for a few days. Do no ry to turn on until you are very certain marble falls Mar 2014 #3
