Default Condensation on PC

Hi, i would like to know if any damage will occur to my PC due to condensation.

I've waited for the condensation to evaporate before turning my pc on and everything seems to be working fine.

I would just like to know it if would cause any performance issues or damage to my PC.

Hello,yes it could cause possible damage.Is it getting inside the computer?Fluid is never good for a computer if it appears inside the case.Although you did the right thing to let it dry out before using it.

I think you need to sort this condensation problem out before it causes serious damage to your computer.

Well make sure it is powered off disconnected from power and leave it dry out completely.This could take a few days.

Fluid is a conductor and will create untold connections shorting out hardware and could eventua;y break your computer.

Any fluid will damage a pc over time.This condensation could get into CD/DVD rom drives,any hardware etc.

Even condenstaion flowing or dripping down the back or front of the computer could cause damge to USB/eithernet ports/Graphics card/sound ports.

You did the right thing on leaving it dry out.I would just hope you got it dried out in time.
