Managed to knock over a beer bottle on my desk and spill on my Babyface Pro
Turned it over immediately but I don’t think I unplugged it quick enough, some pretty crazy noises started coming out of the speakers… it’s currently sitting in a bag of rice… Anyone ever done similar? Any guesses on whether or not it will come back to life?
I broke some years ago a Vox AC15 like that.
Since that day, my beer or whisky is always at least 2 meters from my equipment.
So i can do some exercise when i want to drink.
I mean I was a concert keyboard player, so I used it a lot on gigs (still it’s great and popular instrument for stage). For a long time I was using it as a midi keyboard also because it was somehow easier and cheaper. But now I don’t use it anymore
i’m thinking it might have shorted cause the speakers were making some hellish noises before I could get it unplugged but yeah it’s been in rice for like 36 hours now, i might pull it apart tonight and see what the insides are looking like. Will let you know haha.
USB - 5 volts there, DC, but there are still boosters for phantom power and current-sensitive AD\DA converters. it makes sense to remove the remains of beer. but I believe that in your case everything will be fine! ))
look attentively (from the beer can remain viscous residues, they can conduct electricity), you can wipe with alcohol, raw spirit, it quickly evaporates
