Cooling liquid in m2 slot

[ca.vrinceanu]

Hello so i was Filling up my loop with alphacool cooling liquid which i know is low conductive for electricity and high for heat. So i spill some on the mb and clean it Off leave the computer to dry for 6 hours then turn it on and now my m2 ssd is not working. Took it Off and the m2 contact was a tad wet. Also a pin on the ssd contact is gray has marks like corrosion and also the m2 port has a similar mark in that position. The mark is very precise only one pin on a single side of the contact. All is fried now? The cooling fluid is supoosed to be a low electronic conductor. They are in warranty and j am curently letting the mobo dry out for the night

Low electrical conductor maybe, but still water based. Electricity will always flow through water if it is present unless some other media and path to ground which is less resistant is available. It may be that the intention of saying the coolant is low conductive is ONLY for matters related to chemical reactions of being an electrolyte for galvanic corrosion of dissimilar metals in the loop. Not for direct paths of electricity. That is an entirely different matter. Water will always present electricity with a path of least resistance when choosing between it and metal. Likely, something was fried.

But, might be worth cleaning off the contacts and blowing the M.2 socket completely out with compressed air, and then trying it again. And, it may not.
