As the title suggests, i'm asking about a spill that happened yesterday. For context, my pc and components were in an open test bench so most of the components had exposure to the spill (storage drives, about 75% of the mobo, most connectors, power supply, cpu socket, ect.).
My guess is a little more than a pint of fluid was spilled. The system was off when it happened (PSU was switched off) but plugged in. The system was last used about 10 hours prior. My immediate reaction was to clear the vessel containing the liquid and unplug the system from the wall, then unplug all devices from the mobo. After this I unplugged the CMOS battery and removed the CPU. I do remember there being a bit of liquid (like a drop or two) near the CMOS battery but it was not drenched and as far as I could tell it had not contacted the battery or the socket.
By the time I got to the CMOS battery about 10 minutes had elapsed. Due to my setup, I could not remove it immediately because I couldn't reach it until I unplugged everything else and had enough space to manipulate the test bench freely. I then started to dry everything with separate fans for the components and the motherboard.
Now that I have provided the backround, the crux of my question and what makes it unique is concerning the liquid that was spilled. It was a quart of distilled water mixed with about 2 tablespoons of baking soda. As I mentioned above, I spilled a bit over half of it on the system and as it dried I could see the white residue and just how much stuff it got on.
My understanding is that baking soda is conductive and I have no idea how one would go about attempting to remedy this or what products and procedures to use so I was hoping to get some guidance from here.
