When you get a call that the document camera in a classroom is acting funny. I went over to take a look and while I was checking connections a drop of water fell from the ceiling and hit it dead center. I then tilted and out poured half a cup of water. A $2,000 dollar piece of equipment has been dripped on for two days and none of the half dozen or so faculty using the room noticed, of if they did, reported it. Hopefully removing the cover and letting air dry brings it back to life. Pearls before swine. |

Makes me appreciate our tech people all the more. I have never reported a problem with our classroom electronics that hasn't been fixed by the next time I have used the classroom. |

A bit of advice I recently read was to pack a small device in rice, the idea being the rice will absorb the water Not sure if such advice is applicable to your situation |

In a place I worked several years ago, water started dripping on our development server. When we went to move it we realised that it was situated under the gents' toilet and it wasn't water dripping… |
