Water leak from neighbor above. Two CSS326 wet. And they just keep going!

We had two CSS326-24G-2S+RM in storage - their use case went away with the COVID scare. Home office (to this day) for everyone - the now small office is almost unused.

So, when our dear neighbor from above sprung a leak, no one noticed. Until I passed on the office, for one reason or another.
Water on the floor. Water on (and in!) the boxes. Mold everywhere. Our two beloved CSS326s soaking wet, covered in mold.

Brought them home.
Dried them.
Cleaned them.
And tested them.

All 26 ports working. Looks like they just don’t know how to die. Truly great hardware! :smiley:

Ouch .. wet means that for a long time the water has been leaking. General renovation on the way?

I don’t think so. The water volume was low - but constant. It must have endured two or three weeks of constant dripping - and was directly bellow. 50 cm to any side and I wouldn’t be posting it here.
