My Alta HR was left in a pants pocket and spent some time in the dryer (it did not go through the wash). Can it be saved?

You tell us. Does it still work?

I once had a zip that survived an entire wash and dry cycle.

@j73 all you can do is clean all the connectors and see if it works. These devices can't handle extreme heat, so that might be a concern. Like @JohnnyRow posted - does it still work?
@SunsetRunner the Zip is not the same as the Alta HR. The Zip had a button battery and the Alta HR has a built in battery that can't be replaced.

I'm well aware that Alta is very different than the Zip. Actually i own both an Alta and an Alta HR, still working (although the second has very poor battery after a very good and honorable service) but are now retired. My comment was only to praise the robustness of the Fitbit trackers also considering that luckily @j73 Alta got "only" the dry cycle. So I'm hopefully positive it's still working.
