I accidentally spilled hot coffee over my desk and some spilled on top of the volume control remote of my speakers. I immediately disconnected them and wiped it clean. The speaker even ran fine for a while but after some time it stopped working.
Since the power switch of the speaker were located on the remote, I am not able to start my speakers. My guess is the wires inside the remote must have shorted which is keeping the speakers from starting up.

Is there a way to fix this?

P.S.: The warranty has expired so RMA is not an option.

Local electronics repairing shop.
