Spilt water on computer...

[teteexxfile]

So my cat spilt water onto my computer that lays on its side. The computer turns on fine the graphics card fans work fine but there's no visual on my monitor or tv. I tried different hdmi cords. Any suggestions

Did you actually take it apart, dry it, let it sit for a few days to completely dry...before you powered it up?
It appears not.

Something may have shorted out inside.

I would advise completely powering down. This means unplug it and let it dry completely. Water itself isn't too bad as long as there's no power going through it when it's wet. Once it's dry the danger is over. If you're in a hurry a blow drier can speed things up, but don't get anything too hot to touch. Removing memory, GPU, and CPU can help dry out those sockets. Unplugging PSU connectors also.

Oops.. well the screen popped up one time as a device repair screen so at least the graphics card should be not totally destroyed? Idk but I'll let it try

So I let it dry for an hour and it fully turned on to my desktop and then the display stopped showing after about 5 minutes. I'll definitely let it dry all day
