So i have a problem that is a bit out of my realm of knowledge/experience. as you may have inferred my computer got wet....
my brother was at the bar next to my house, couldn't drive home so he came over and passed out on my couch. Long story short he gets the privilege of buying me some sweet new parts.
So the computer was most likely ON during the incident. The old lady went down stairs in the morning to turn it on so she could watch tv and nothing happened. upon further inspection the area was damp and the dvd case sitting on top was full of liquid. she quickly put it together and ran up stairs to inform me what my brother had done in his drunken, sleep walking state.(he had left by then) Well i sprung out of bed and leaped down the stairs to inspect the situation. asked he if she pushed the on button. what happened ect.
While calling by brother{and proceeding to curse him out) i dismantled the computer. Took out the CPU, ram and. GPU as well as unplugged all cords in case liquid had gotten into the connectors. i left the MOBO and PSU in and just set it near the base board heater.
Seeing as it didnt turn on i knew the psu was gone so i orders a new XFX XTR 750 that came in yesterday. My question is given the situation should i just put it together and swap out the PSU? is there something else that might have fried and is there any risk to hooking the new psu to to the computer? any insight would be helpful.
