spilled water in my power supply please help!

[frostbite1]

i knocked over my water bottle on the carpet. it was right near the back of the power supply and i don't know if some of the water had splashed into the back of the power supply where the on and off switch is if you know what i mean?. What would happen if i got water in the power supply while it was running or off? will it explode? or burst into flames? im JUST SO PARANOID Sad right now its been 24 hours since i knocked over my water bottle near my computer. My computer seems to be fine right now does it take time to damage the power supply?

Doesn't matter if the computer was on or off, if the PSU is plugged in with the switch in the "on" position, it's still receiving power.

 

That being the case, if the thing didn't pop and flash immediately, you should be good a day after the fact..

if there was water in it, problems would've appeared right away.

 

seems fine.

if you're really paranoid, turn off your system, and blow a hairdryer into the  intake.

If it was water, just let it dry

If it was juice or some "not only water" liquid, you should open it up , wash it preferrably with distilled water or isopropyl alcohol and then let it dry

 

Water would just evaporate. If the power supply is on and water goes in, there's a small risk of short circuit. In case of short circuit, your power supply's fuse would probably have tripped and the power supply would need a new fuse to work.

 

The switch is just making contact between two wires or not making contact, if water goes inside that it would basically short the wires which means it would be just like you'd have the switch on the ON position. So you'd only risk having the power supply on even when the button is on the off state.

 

Juices or liquids with other stuff inside could dry out on circuit boards inside and those inpurities may corrode circuit traces or leads of components and break them off the circuit board or cause erratic behavior (in time)
