Rider 550 Condensation in screen

TartanHog

Hi,

Just got my new Rider 550 out of the box and took it for its first spin. The device is great however almost the entire screen has condasation in side it after about 1 hour. Is there aneasy fix?

Cheers Martin

That's been happening since the 400 was released so no fix

Hi Tartan Hog

When using your Rider 4/5xx make sure the two rubber bungs are all ways FULLY SEATED and flush with the outer case...

Use a de-moisturizing Bag e.g... https://www.wired.com/2011/07/bheestie/
Or Google "Wet Phone"
Caution... If you opt for the bag of rice method make sure you thoroughly wrap the device in Kitchen paper towel to stop the grains of DRY rice entering the external ports

Good luck with that!!

My older Rider had condensation and was allegedly replaced twice and still the problem remained so in desperation I bought a new 500 which has the same fault Nd has again allegedly been replaced twice but still has the fault and I'm now out of warranty.

I wouldn't touch a Rider unit with a barge pole as they are inherently rubbish
