Zusammenfassung:Methods and apparatuses for drying electronic devices are disclosed. The methods and apparatuses heat and decrease pressure within the electronic device, and increase pressure after said decrease of pressure. The methods and apparatus further measure a humidity within a low-pressure chamber, and optionally increase the pressure after the humidity has decreased and rate of decrease of humidity has slowed. This increase and decrease of pressure may be repeated sequentially at various stages determined by, for example, the humidity, rate of change of humidity, and sequential maximum and minimum humidity. Some embodiments include additional functionality, such as disinfecting the electronic device.
