As some of you may know, I work at a burger king. Today one of our credit card machines went down as the power supply sat in a puddle of water on the ground for an extended period of time and stopped working. We replaced it with a unused power supply from an unused credit card machine and everything worked fine. I took home this power supply to see if I could get it working again, and this is the horror I was confronted with when opening it:
Holy.
Butt.
Nuggets.
I sprayed down the PCB front and back with Simple Green and soaked the case in vinegar and wire wheeled the corrosion off of anywhere that had it, and it starts up now.
