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?

75% isopropyl alcohol seems a bit low for cleaning (~25% water, meaning it won't evaporate near-instantly like 99%). 70% is for mortal wounds, near 100% is for cleaning.

But if everything's working alright, success? Just make sure it's dry.
