Last night, right before going to bed, I noticed that my 4K monitor seemed to be awake despite my computer being asleep. Upon closer inspection, I realized one of my cats peed on it, pooling right on the button board, causing the permanent awakeness. A lovely token of their anger that I left town for a few days.
I cleaned up the initial mess then and there, but knew it would require more work. Today I took apart the monitor case and cleaned every single part with isopropyl. After several hours disassembling, scouring , and reassembling, I finally have it working like normal, sans piss aroma.
I also just got a new 1440p curved monitor to replace my old crappy 2nd screen, so I got that set up as well. Now I have an even nicer system than before, despite the pretty major annoyance involved.
Breaking posting rules. This is NOT dull at all. Cat pee is something else.
The floor cleaners when we moved into our place thought cat pee was dull (aka nothing special). But they sure didn’t get the smell out. Ive had no luck getting it out either though. I think it’s in the baseboards
The smell was anything but dull, but the clean up itself was pretty monotonous. Better than canning my monitor though!
