    When i was cleaning my eleven rack from the sides (I didn't want to open the lid) i turned both the eleven rack and the air compressor can vertically and it released liquid instead of air... the liquid might've gotten on the inside of the 11R, what i noticed is that the liquid from the can quickly dissolved in a matter of seconds... i tested out on my hand out of pure paranoia and it did (but that thing is damn cold) I did proceed cleaning the 11r the right way though, horizontally like you supposed to and managed to get rid of the dust (at least i think so) what are the chances of the machine malfunctioning due to this accident ? can this liquid damage the electronic gear like the 11R ?

    Im stupid I know it was my first time doing this.. and I havent turned on the machine, this happened yesterday at night.. im too scared to turn it on lol

    :(

    it is probably just liquid carbon dioxide, (dry ice), which is used in cans to pressurize the contents, have a look on the side of the can for a contents list. you should be fine, even if it was just water, placing the unit on a sunny windowsill for a couple of hours would make the water evaporate anyway

    a little lesson for all - when using pressurized cans, always test a can away from your work area first, at least you wasn't using spray paint or an oil based product :wink:

    That was liquified gas and it's long gone.

    But what I wonder: what good will blowing the dust and dirt into the machine do? Cleaning usually means getting that stuff out...

    you really do need to remove the covers to blow the dust out

    Indeed, you're just moving dust and crap around that way.
    Don't worry about the liquid, is just propellant gas like they guys above already said,
    I hate when that happen but its not dangerous.
