How well would small electronic devices like cell phones hold up in a vacuum? When I wanted to remove nearly all trace of water from an auto A/C system prior to charging it, I used a borrowed A/C vacuum pump to evacuate the system. The extremely low pressure causes the water to vaporize and then the vapor is pumped out. Would it be feasible to dry a cell phone in a vacuum chamber; or, are there components (with internal pressure) that would rupture?
