water damage

Suppose you have a laptop that was exposed to steam and there was condensation on surfaces/walls in the room. You find signs of moisture on your ssd, you let it sit (with drying agent(s) such as rice, silica beads or damprid) for 24h but nothing visibly changes. Primary Question: Do you use...

Hey, So my incompetent brother placed a glass of water next to my PC tower and my cat knocked it over, with some water spilling into it. I unplugged it and immediately and dried it off completely, however when I try to turn it, everything seems to boot up normally except there is no display...

It has a black screen and this message: "ThinkVantage Active Protection sensor diagnostic restart. /" It doesn't seem to load. My son dropped water on it, I closed it and let it dry for a day, I even opened it up to take the water out (it wasn'tthat much but it might have reached the...

So I recently spilled some water on my laptop. It wasn't too much, but enough to cover half the trackpad and a few of the keys. I immediately wiped it off but did not flip it over and (very stupidly) didn't turn it off. Strangely enough though, it still continued to work, and later testing...

My stupid saw a TikTok with someone cleaning there cpu with water to take there thermal paste off. So when I got a new cpu I tried that on my old one. I used running water on my cpu with a paper towel. Well now I feel like selling it. I don’t really wanna test because it would take me hours to...

So, long story short, my PC was in a flood and I’m looking for tips to save it, and if it’s even possible I could still get it running. Recently a pipe burst in my house and I lost everything in that room, but so far nothing that can’t be replaced. Except the PC. Under normal circumstances, I...

With the way that my desktop is positioned on my desk, my hardware is shielded, but it suddenly rained today while my window was open and a few drops appear to have gotten on my two top fans. My computer was off. Those fans in particular seem to have caught the water, and I don't see any...

Okay, so my gaming PC just endured a water spill through the top of the system. It was around half the bottle, but I only found drops of it when looked at closely. No visible water damage. A few seconds after the spill, the screen went blue. No messages, just dark-ish blue. I continue to unplug...

Hey everyone! I have an issue that I am hoping I can get some insight/advice on. I recently purchased a 2080 ti hydro copper second hand. The card landed today and upon opening the package I saw there was water in the box. Closer inspection revealed water had leaked from the outlet ports not...

Laptop got water spilled on it, but the owner tried turning it on afterward, left it about days to drain it. As soon as I got my hands on the laptop, I tried plugged in the laptop with power cord (with battery on) - it shows led blink white and orange repeatedly (no boot). What I've tried -...

A couple days ago, I spilled a cup of water on my computer while it was running [stupid, I know] I immediately unplugged the power and I did not hear any error noises or problems before unplugging it. The majority of the water was on the bottom of the case, under the GPU and there was a small...
