The great enemy: Orange Juice

My kid spilled orange juice underneath my framework. It was a day before I noticed it, but it seems like the USB-C module somehow soaked it up and it dissolved the glue. The silver backing came off with no resistance. The internals look fine and the Ethernet module next to it suffered no harm. I’m thinking a few spots of hot glue should fix it. Interesting for anyone looking to unglue their pieces I guess!

@nez So everything’s still working??

@Tinkererer_Belle Yup! 100%. But remember, it was liquid that spilled from another source and pooled underneath. I think there was the slightest contact, and the module literally wicked it up into the glue. So there was no contact with any boards.
