Hi guys, so I decided it was time to clean up my desk top, I pulled my side panel off and used a can of compressed air to clear the dust. Everything was fine until I got round to my front panel then out of nowhere liquid sprayed into my USB panel and now I have 0 activity going on from my front USB, no power nothing! The rest of my PC seems fine and the rear ones work fine. My case is a coolermaster haf 912, could anyone let me know what I have to do to get them rocking again please? Thanks!

First did you attempt using this air duster while your computer was still plugged in?

Sorry for late reply....

Did you wait before turning it back on after noticing you shot fluid into the port?

I know sounds like stupid question an commen sense but I'm just making sure step by step. Hopefully someone will come along with more knowledge than what I have but I hope I can help.

Hi, yea it was about 15mins later I turned it back on and it did work for a little while, maybe ten mins and it rapidly got worse until now it doesn't even power anything let alone recognize devices :(

Hmmm maybe the air duster blew the connector lose on the inside. Other than that I don't have any idea. A little tiny shot of mist or fluid from an air duster shouldn't be that big an issue or no one would use air duster for cleaning electronics.
