Yesterday my cat knocked over a can of coke and some of it went on top of the home router, there's some tiny ventilation holes on top so that's why I was worried.
So what do I do? I couldn't just leave it running waiting for it to short circ.
I opened up the router and took a good look inside, tried to look behind the circuit board without removing anything. Thankfully it seems like no liquid went inside.
So I put it back together and closed it again. Here's the thing, some of the cables inside were stuck to the board with these black foamy stickers. One of those came loose in the disassembly, the one that's like a plastic cable that comes from the optic fiber port to a big metal chip. Am I at risk of a short circuit or no?
Otherwise everything works fine, I did some tests. Would you change the router after this?
