Milk Inside of My Desktop

[aidanjstevens]

So 5 days ago I was using my desktop and I decided to go bring a bowl of cesarean to the sink when trying to pick up the bowl the milk spilled onto onto my desktop, A few droplets if milk managed to find their way inside and my screen went blue. My computer has yet to turn on if I press the power button nothing happens. I got the milk on my PSU, My GPU, and my mobo. Is it blown pls help!

If you fried your MoBo, GPU and PSU due to your negligence then how could we help you? Only advice we can give to you is that you need to buy new MoBo, GPU and PSU if you want to use your PC again.

Unless you are experienced I would take it to a local repair shop.

If you feel up to it.... Right off I would not use the same PSU anymore(buy one locally from a Bestbuy, Fry's, etc... that way at least worse case, you'll be able to return it). You are going to want to disassemble your desktop and examine everywhere for "milk". Get a tooth brush and 90% rubbing alcohol. Scrub any exposed areas until the milk is cleaned off. If there's a blown capacitor(the end will be bulging up), then that's going to have to be de-soldered/replaced.
For best results, let the exposed board soak overnight in a mixture of 90% alcohol, distilled water and a little bit of white vinegar. The next day, let the board dry out thoroughly before trying to use it again.

Are we talking about a few drops or something substantial?

Clearly you have had a short crircuit. If there was no smoke and catastrophic bang, your power supply is probably ok. Its likely that you have a motherboard issue.

Have you opened the case and done a visual inspection.

Are there any obvious signs of damage, is the motherboard clean?

Where did the milk land and run?

I think you got more than a few drops in there.
