Today a few drops of water went into my power supply which I didn't notice when it happened(My neice threw a glass of water).
So when I started power supply to the SMPS(I didnt' turn on my PC or other components),there was a very faint burning noise and a smell like burnt rubber. I immediately turned off the power supply to it, opened the case and dried it with a blower for a couple of hours. Then I connected it to my PC and everything works well now.

Is there anything else I should be doing?

Thanks

If it was gonna die it would happen quickly n probably quite dramatically... so you're probably ok...

What PSU is it though? If it's something cheap/poor quality I would take this as an opportunity to buy a new one as if a bad one does fail it may take some of your other components with it....

Agreed. You don't wanna risk damaging other components unless your PC is old and needs to be replaced anyway. :)
