Sony WF1000XM3 Water Damage (sh.itjust.works)

May have accidentally sent my earbuds through a wash cycle, pretty gnarly corrosion on the right bud and the main charge controller. My first water damage! Is this worth doing anything with or shall I move to another used pair of buds? For reference I picked these up secondhand for $50 :)

I'd be on the lookout for some cheap XM4s as they are worlds better than the XM3s but that is probably just me being salty about the dogshit battery life of the XM3s

I was happy with the battery life until I switched on EQ, then it plummeted to like 45 minutes. These were my first real pair of wireless earbuds so I don't have a baseline.

I'll have to keep an eye out and look into the WX4s. I picked these up because the repairability was pretty good but they aren't idiot proof apparently :)
