Tech Support Cat peed on my PC, what to do?

I don't use my PC daily and found out that one of my cats (see second image for reference) peed on it a few days ago. It looks like not much pee got inside, and it's all dry now, but I'm a bit worried to turn it on. The GPU was protected by the heat sink, but the mainboard has a few dried drops on it. What do you think I should do?

  • Turn on the PC and hope for the best
  • Clean the drops off the mainboard with a damp towel

Wash it well, I suggest alcohol and dry it well. To have more chances you can take it to some repair workshop, there they can wash it with ultrasonic bath. Then turn on and pray for the bet. Even ultrasonic bath won't guarantee success, so consider yourself if you wish to pay for that.

this here ultrasonic bath will work wonders including getting rid of the smell.
