Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for drying electronic devices. Embodiments include methods and apparatus for heating an electronic device and reducing pressure in the electronic device. Some embodiments increase and decrease the pressure while applying heat. Other embodiments include a dryer to remove moisture from the air exhausted from the electronic device before the air reaches the exhaust pump. Additional embodiments detect the humidity in the low pressure chamber and determine when to increase and/or decrease the pressure based on the humidity. Based on the detected humidity and in some embodiments based on changes in humidity while the pressure is increasing and/or decreasing, further embodiments determine whether the device is sufficiently dry to restore proper function. Further alternative embodiments automatically control some or all aspects of the drying of the electronic device. A further embodiment disinfects the electronic device.
