Anyone ever successfully repair a liquid damaged PC?
My niece discovered a way to pour tea into her PC case. Not normal tea, Starbucks tea with 1000 calories of sugar. The stuff is everywhere, caked on real good too. It's in the PCIE lanes, RAM slots. I haven't pulled the CPU out of the socket yet but its around the cooler. The only components that didn't get any tea on or in them were the PSU and SSD. I didn't think it was that bad at first, but when I pulled the GPU the stuff was everywhere. I cleaned it but stains remain. I was gonna test it in my rig, but it was so bad I am afraid it will fry my own system.
System Specs
Asrock 970m pro3
FX-6300
GT 710
Adata 8GB
I built this two years ago for her, and as you can understand I used this level of components with good reason. I have never fixed a pc with water damage. I assumed the mobo took the brunt of the damage and would definitely need to be replaced. Just wondering if it would even be worth it.
