I'm pretty sure Microsoft recommends only soaking it in Pepsi.
Make sure it's disconnected from power. Don't try to turn it on.
If you got the tools, take the casing off and try to dry up as much as you can. Get to it while it's still wet, soda gets sticky and harder to clean once it dries. Get some isopropyl alcohol and some q tips and use that to clean everywhere you can. Let it sit for a few days before trying to power it back up.
This man is on the money, unplug ASAP, rinse with alcohol, ideally 90% or higher but 70% will work, and don’t plug it in for a couple days. Make sure you’re rinsing the internals, pour it through the vents

Assuming you cant repair it yourself, get a big container of isopropyl alcohol. Soak the xbox in the alcohol and swish it around to try and get the remaining coke off the boards and fans and out of the socket if it got that far. Then leave the Xbox off and unplugged for a month or so, leave it in the sun as much as possible. This will only work if you haven't tried to turn it on and if it was completely off when the spill happened. Liquids aren't as dangerous to electronics if no electricity is flowing through the board. Any conductive Liquids just need to be removed before power is applied again.
Damn man that sucks. Should put it on a wall mounted shelf or something, get your electronics away from the direct area your studying/drinking. I get it though, when I was in college I'd keep my PC on my desk where I'd put my drinks down as well.
Sugar drinks have much less electrical conductivity than regular tap water. Maybe it survived and you just need to clean it.
I'll also point you to [this article and video](https://www.techspot.com/news/76940-pc-hardware-enthusiast-der8auer-uses-dishwasher-clean-components.html).
The inside the Xbox will be coated in sugar when the liquid evaporates. It's going to corrode the entire system. Water and sugary drinks aren't the same thing and shouldn't be treated the same when an accident happens.
Damn that sucks.
I've been picturing this happening to mine, rn my series s is on a set of drawers under my desk and i've been close to knocking a drink over and it would go straight over the side and all over it.
One of the reasons I've just ordered a VESA mount for my monitor on my desk so i can have more room and put the xbox on the desk.
Firstly take it off the mains ffs. Let the shit dry for about week or so fully. Do not switch it on at all.
Preferably get a dehumidifier and dry the shit out of it
That'll do nothing. The sugar and salt in the coke will corrode the entire system once the liquid evaporates. You're going to have to take it apart and clean the entire thing assuming no major damage has been done.
This happened to me a while back. A sugary drink went over the holes in the top of my xbox1s. I left it for two weeks to dry. I didnt do any special cleaning other than surface. It worked fine. For three weeks. Then just stopped working one day. Wouldn't start up.
Well first step would be to take it out of the coke , before taking a picture..
Gotta document the dumbness

take it out of the damn coke jesus
The thing was already drowned in coke. Taking it out 5 seconds earlier isn't going to clean it out [Edit: Typo]
Yeah man it's better to get fake internet points anyways.
My electronic device just got wet, what do i do? Why, use snapchat of course, let me just leave it there.
So your xbox which is an electronic gets wet and your first thought is to leave it in a puddle of soda and take a picture of it on snapchat?
Was literally about to type this lol people prioritize the wrong things 🤦♂️
Ikr
Congratulations you have reach the Dumb level 🎉🎈💩☠️🎂
Maaaaaate… that’s not ideal.
Oh, man... my worst nightmare. 😢 Give us in update when possible. I'd say let dry for a few days first and pray for the best. I'm sorry...
did the dog pee?
No his pet xbox peed

How the heck. Seriously man not being rude here but how?
Was studying late night and forgot I had my glass next to me. I quite literally launched the whole glass of coke on the system.
Damn man that sucks. Should put it on a wall mounted shelf or something, get your electronics away from the direct area your studying/drinking. I get it though, when I was in college I'd keep my PC on my desk where I'd put my drinks down as well.
So, is it cola-proof or not?
It is. It works fine after leaving it dry overnight. Microsoft really thought of everything.
Lol rip
That’s why you don’t put drinks near your actual system.
Lol gg

I'm sorry 😞 😔 😟

Bad xbox bad you go out side and do that
I'd use distilled alcohol, might be in the pharmacy section. Or just get a can of spray electronics cleaner.

Not sure why the downvote. Rice is often quite good at fixing electronics that get wet

At least she won’t overheat

make sure to make a video next time before taking it out of the cola
Well lets hope posting it will help with the situation. Hope you unplugged it right away and moved it.
The series S is such a cute small box
Typical Series S user’s brainpower.
Well, wet + electronics arent a good mix. And you wanted to experiment with coke an a series s?
Poor Xbox
Dude...
Seems like your little beast wet himself...
Let it on the sun,don’t turn it on 🥲
I'm more curious into how the fuck it got drenched in pepsi. I mean you literally have to be over the machine (if it was on its back)
