Good evening,
Unfortunately, I spilled water on my power strip and everything shut off (logical). However, I would like to know if it is possible to reuse the power strip after letting it dry.
Thank you for your responses.

    Hello,

    Only if you are absolutely sure that this power strip is completely dry.

    But be careful, because if oxidation forms afterwards, there could be a big risk.

    See you

    Hello,
    we should open the power strip to see if there are any physical damages and clean it with a lubricant (like classic WD-40 for example).
