My cat threw up into our cable box?

Question

and it's not working properly. What are the chances that if I vacuum it after it dries, that it might work again? I know this is a shot in the dark, but it never hurts to ask.

Answer 1

Please don't blame the cat. Some of the stuff that comes through that cable box, is really sickening.  LOL..

Go to an electronics store and ask for a spray can of

Instant Contact Cleaner. It leaves no residue. It should do

the job.  Other wise get a new box from the cable co.

I have a can of LPS from years ago.  I don't know if they still

have this brand, but there are others out there.  Pricey yes,

but you can use it on a ton of electrical stuff.

Answer 2

First off, unplug the cable box and disconnect the cables to eliminate any chance of a short. Let it dry and remove what you can with a vacuum then try a shot of compressed air in a can ( available at any decent computer store) and if that dies not work, try the instant contact cleaner. If that does not work, take it in to a repair center.

DO NOT open the case if it's a box from your cable company, they may accuse you of trying to tamper with it.

Hope this helps, and hope the cat is OK.
