Spilled beer on Power supply and it made crackle sound and rebooted.
As the title saids I did spill some last night on it and the way my vent on the case are set up (cyberpower pc) is that I have open vents on top of the case (terrible design) and the motherboard along with most things are attached on the wall (luckily) EXCEPT the power supply that sat on the bottom directly under vent and ate the beer that spilled.
Now it was not a lot but almost instantly with computer on i made spark noises restarted then during post failed but by then I ran to the chord and pulled it off wall and turned computer upside down (nothing ran down).
Figured I fried it and maybe other stuff with it right? Well next day I took it to work and opened it up and used compressed air can gently on power supply from inside blowing some dust out and cleaned it a bit with some cloth. After that I decided to try my luck.
The computer booted up with np with keyboard,mouse monitor attached.
MY QUESTION: The spark I heard with a restart obviously worried me. Should I just replace power supply? Is it possible it was minor damage that dried out much like when you put a wet phone in rice? I just do not wanna use it if it's gonna just go off in flames..what do you guys think? I know they say with water people have returned it from the grave but with stuff like beer/soda I know it's not the same.
