Cat peed on the neo geo-what to do?

[Ed Oscuro]

It would only zap it if you are retarded enough to wash it when its plugged in.

or if you're retarded enough to use it when it's still wet o_O

but yeah, WARSH YOUR NEO!!!1

[Nez]

Wash your Neo, I wased one of my Neos in the dish washer (NO SOAP!) And it didn't harm a thing, just dry the thing off completly before you use it again.

I used compressed air and Arizonas dry heat to dry it off 2 hours later it was good to go.

[Mr.Faxanadu]

Our dog is great !!! When I have my XboX on the ground and the wires are on the floor (plug, controllers) he's so scared when he approches it that he doesn't know what to do. He sits there and wines untill someone lifts him over the cords!

Sucks to hear about your NEO. I'm sure a bit of liquid is no big deal for the system. Once dry it should work. The main concern would be the smell. That stuff is hard to get out of things.

Good Luck\

I say shoot the fucking cat. This is why I like dogs. No dog is gonna climb up something just to piss on it.

Have you been training at Sothy school or something?

[Poofta!]

strange indeed, ive had a cat longer than i was collecting, and in my years of collecting and gaming, never once has anything happened, he doesnt so much as step on things, rarely even sniffs anything unless its new.

regardless though, you should washed it down and dried it like hell before turning it on, since it seems you arleady had it on, the damage might be permanent. i say wash it wish water, then blow dry, then let sit for a while.

My cat peed on my Sega CD, 3DO and NES. No accounting for taste I guess. The funny thing is that I keep my systems in a glass front entertainment center. The damn cat actually pissed through the seem of the glass and the wood and hit 3 levels of game systems. Also peed on many controllers when I left them out. Nothing was ever damaged, but things smelled funny for a while. Forget any of those enzyme deoderizers and no amount of conventional cleaning got rid of the smell. But Fabreeze did the trick right away.

Stupid cat.

I've been around cats and all kinds of other animals my entire life and I've never had this happen, they've destroyed other things but never my games. I'm not an expert in any way, but I would be more concerned with the left over stuff in urine if you didn't clean it really really well eventually having a corrosive effect on the boards or the components. I'd think that just letting it dry might intensify the problem. Also if you don't get rid of the urine smell (and I'm mean clean it tell you can't smell anything and then clean some more), or the cats, and try your best to figure out what promted them to do this in the first place(new cat? How's the area around where you've been keeping the Neo smell, could be they've been using the general area as a cat box for awhile and the Neo just got lucky this time, are they fixed?), it's likely they're going to pee in it again.

[rbudrick]

This is way more amusing than that topic about getting cig smoke out of games.

Yeah, all twelve of them.

Anyway, I would return the Neo to Wal Mart.

Oh, wait...

Or you could buy a new one and sell the other on eBay for the same amount.

Or, since the pee came out of the cat, get even by putting the neo in the cat...seems like good revenge to me.

I've often heard the best way to train animals not to piss in the house is to piss right on them as soon as they piss on something of yours. They learn quite quickly that way.

Eh, that's going overboard. The jets in a dishwarsher are pretty strong, even at no or low heat you're probably gonna knock it around - and if the circuit board's exposed you'd have to worry about water getting into the paper of any transformers, soldered on bits getting knocked off, and so on...

[calthaer]

Sounds like your cat mistook the NG for one of Nintendo's new consoles.

[Ed Oscuro]

I'd think that just letting it dry might intensify the problem.

If there's any reaction between components on the board and any acids in the urine, it'll balance out soon after the urine hits the board. I don't think urine would be a good thing to have on plastic, but I have a feeling it won't be peeling layers away like paint thinner would, either

Booyah. =) Dogs are so much better than cats. Hell.. I'd say buy a dog and feed the cat to it.

I love dogs. Cats do nothing. They only love you when they want to.

If you don't want to kill your cat you could always sue it.

But back to reality, You should do as it's been said, Wash it but don't wash it while it's plugged in and don't plug it in while it's still wet.

And when it's not plugged in, switch the on/off switch to the "On" Position to get any electricity left in there out, then switch it back to "off"

[ubersaurus]

Well, the pee doesn't seem to have damaged the internals, since it was playing fine when I gave it a test last night. Still smells some if you get close to the controller port-side of the board, however. When I find the hairdryer I'll wash that bit and let it sit for a couple days, and see if that does the trick.

[nebrazca78]

Oh man, that sucks. Never leave your Neo Geo on the floor! Hopefully it will dry out and play ok. I've been playing Neo and my dog has walked into my room and walked near it. I yelled at the dog making sure she knows that I love her, but not as much as my Neo Geo.

If you love your NeoGeo more than your dog, you're sick. There are thousands of NeoGeos out there but only one (insert dog's name here).

BTW people use alcohol to clean electronics sometimes. I dropped my phone in the toilet years ago and then dunked it in rubbing alcohol immediately. Then I opened it up to let it air out and it worked fine. Might be good for odors, too.

its a joke dude

[nebrazca78]

its a joke dude

Cruelty to animals is never a joke... unless it involves anal electrocution. That one cracks me up every time. Was that a joke or a news story? I don't remember, it doesn't matter anyway...

My rabbit chewed through my dreamcast RF adapter once.

Hey we had a rabbit that did the same thing to my n64 RF, that was back when a replacement was 20 bucks.We had a big roasting bag dinner that night and I gave away 4 keychains.

Get rid of the cat.

[Howie6925]

, if you are worrying about it stinking there is stuff you can buy at the vet that will get rid of cat piss smell, it works on furniture i dont know how well it will work on a neo geo though. I know I shouldnt be laughing but that is funny.

But NeoGeo's can't reproduce!!!
