generating a first air flow, using a pressure-generating device, through a first air channel connecting a drying chamber, the pressure-generating device, and a moisture-reducing device, wherein the drying chamber receives a portable electronic device rendered at least partially inoperable due to moisture intrusion into an interior of the portable electronic device;
removing a first moisture from the interior of the portable electronic device to an exterior of the portable electronic device or to the moisture-reducing device;
determining the first moisture removed from the interior of the portable electronic device to the exterior of the portable electronic device or to the moisture-reducing device;
pausing the generating the first air flow through the first air channel based on the first moisture removed from the interior of the portable electronic device to the exterior of the portable electronic device or to the moisture-reducing device; and
generating a second air flow, using the pressure-generating device, after the drying chamber is disconnected from the pressure-generating device and the moisture-reducing device, through a second air channel connecting the moisture-reducing device, the pressure-generating device, a valve, and an evacuation channel, wherein the second air flow removes the first moisture or a second moisture from the moisture-reducing device through the evacuation channel.
