MOISTURE REMOVAL FROM DEVICE PORT

1 . A method, the method comprising:

detecting, using a moisture removal system, moisture at a port of an information handling device; and

activating, using the moisture removal system, at least one moisture removal device located in proximity to the port of the information handling device.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one moisture removal device comprises a heat strip.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the activating comprises providing power to the at least one moisture removal device.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one moisture removal device is external to the information handling device.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the activating comprises providing current pulses to the at least one moisture removal device.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the providing current pulses is performed responsive to determining a battery level of a battery of the device is below a predetermined threshold.

7 . The method of claim 1 , comprising determining which of a plurality of moisture removal devices of the information handling device activate in response to detecting the moisture.

8 . The method of claim 1 , comprising displaying, on a display of the information handling device, a notification indicating the at least one moisture removal device is to be activated and wherein the activating occurs responsive to receiving user input authorizing the activation of the at least one moisture removal device.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one moisture removal device is located within the port.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the port comprises a charging port.

11 . An information handling device, comprising:

at least one moisture removal device;

a processor;

a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor:

detect moisture at a port of the information handling device; and

activate the at least one moisture removal device located in proximity to the port of the information handling device.

12 . The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the at least one moisture removal device comprises a heat strip.

13 . The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the activating comprises providing power to the at least one moisture removal device.

14 . The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the at least one moisture removal device is external to the information handling device.

15 . The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the activating comprises providing current pulses to the at least one moisture removal device.

16 . The information handling device of claim 15 , wherein the providing current pulses is performed responsive to determining a battery level of a battery of the device is below a predetermined threshold.

17 . The information handling device of claim 11 , comprising determining which of a plurality of moisture removal devices the information handling device activate in response to detecting the moisture.

18 . The information handling device of claim 11 , comprising displaying, on a display of the information handling device, a notification indicating the at least one moisture removal device is to be activated and wherein the activating occurs responsive to receiving user input authorizing the activation of the at least one moisture removal device.

19 . The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the at least one moisture removal device is located within the port.

20 . A product, comprising:

a storage device that stores code, the code being executable by a processor and, wherein executed by the processor, cause the product to:

detect moisture at a port of an information handing device; and

activate at least one moisture removal device located in proximity to the port of the information handling device.
