    Question liquid damage.

    Ok, so the story is this. My brother had a tower pc. Their cat jumped up on the desk. The cat knocked over some liquid that poured down the vents for the fans in the top of the tower. The liquid pooled in the bottom of the tower. Is this machine permanently dead? I can try to get more details...

    USB controller PCI card

    After careful examination of the machine. I discovered the usb port on the front had a bent piece touching the connectors of the usb port. I bent those peices away from there and now I can manage to boot into the OS.The only issue I have now is the machine won't fully post occasionally.

    My usb controller on my motherboard died. I was wondering if getting a USB PCI card would make the machine functional again.
