The issue was resolved by replacing the impacted components.Review of the provided images point to fluid dropping from the top level of the base plate of the instrument onto the impacted board.The fluid leak onto the connectors most likely caused thermal damage and melting of connectors, cables, and the affected board.The fluid leak most likely came from the slide drawer.The design of the benchmark ultra instrument limits the chances of the spread of fire due to limited fuel available (plastic) and the fact that it is mounted to metal.The instrument was designed to and has been certified to meet the standards of iec/en 61010-1 which include section 6, protection against electric shock, and section 9, protection against the spread of fire.Device code updated to circuit failure.
