Topic: Don't Drink and Compose :(

Managed to spill beer on my Babyface Pro on Saturday night, reached for the bottle, knocked it over and probably a few spoonfuls of beer hit the top of my BF Pro, i immediately turned it over but I don't think I unplugged it quick enough as some pretty crazy sounds came out of the speakers.

I dried it off and it's currently sitting in some rice, haven't plugged it back in yet. Any one been thru this? Any chance it will come out alive? Is it worth trying to get something like that repaired (is it even possible) or did I basically just ruin it?

If it doesn't recover send it in for a check. Repair is possible.

Thanks MC,

Would I send it direct to you guys in Germany or is there a North American place by chance (Canada even better).

Maybe the Babyface 3 could be waterproofed? Beer proof?

Always a worry!

I often wonder what the real price is of putting a PCB together like that in a device is.  After all most of the cost I imagine is for research, marketing and time - the parts themselves probably don't cost much except maybe the design for things like the case but resisters, capacitors cost very little.
