I dont know if I'd place any electronics in an oven. Heat destroys
components. Just sit it in the sun on a sunny day and it will dry. I
have washed computer motherboards, including the power supplies, and
hosed them off. (to remove all that dirt that builds up on that stuff),
then left them out in the sun for a full day to dry, and they always
work just fine.


My oven will not regulate that low, so I put the wet equipment in a car
that is out in the sun in the summer.



** The trick is to bring the oven up to about 100C, then turn it off.

Place the item inside and close the door, it will heat to about 75C and be dry as a bone in 15 minutes. Take it out and let it cool.

75C is not hazardous to electronic components.
