So I spilled water over the top of my pc case and the water went all through the pc down to the psu, though to note as soon as this happened I shut down the power supply and unplugged the power cable as well as pressing the power button to discharge the power that was left before the water got to the psu I’m not sure how long I was supposed to wait but after about 8 hours I checked the computer with a paper towel and got no water on it and for a while the pc was running pretty well for about an hour Until it abruptly shut down and wouldn’t turn on again As well I checked and after unplugging it for another hour and plugging back in (with the psu on) the only thing connected to the pc that showed it still somewhat had power has the ethernet cable Does this mean the psu is possibly broke? And yes I checked every connection and a different cable and outlet Tl;Dr: I spilled water on the computer, shut it off as fast as possible and got rid of the remaining power, let it dry for about 8-9 hours, used the computer for an hour before it suddenly turning off

    The water immediately damaged something probably by providing a conductive path for higher voltage to lower voltage components. Didn’t matter you turned it off.

    You can get a new PS easily and test the system. They’re cheap and easy to return. However if that fails you have a long and difficult troubleshooting time ahead.
