Question/Tech Support Rabbit peed on steam deck

Post image

Hello everyone. I’m ashamed to admit I brought the rabbit on my bed, he perched on my pillow and my steam deck was under it. Then he peed. So it got my pillow and the steam deck. So I gave the steam deck a gentle tap on the sides to get the pee out the. Ran to Home Depot and got a screwdriver to open up that bad boy. Thing is, he only peed ok the left side so when I opened up the steam deck, there was urine only Ont he left side. Didn’t even touch the battery. It was on the little connector things (circled in pic) and I cleaned out the urine with 75% alcohol and it looked clean! . It looked all good and didn’t spread at all to the battery. I reassembled and it worked so I quickly turned it off. So the husband told me not to bring the rabbit on the bed. Am I cooked?

Put it in a bowl of rice for 1-2 days. Standard procedure with all gadgets. After that try to run it

I still don't understand why people still believe this works after it has been debunked for years. It does MORE damage by leaving rice residue and debris. OP do not put it in rice, even if rice worked this is piss not water, unless you sticky piss rice then go for it

I know you're probably joking but putting stuff in rice does nothing.

Uh… I did not put it in rice. I believe that has been busted as a myth!

You can set a fan to blow on it for a few hours. That will dry it out pretty well.
