What's up guys.. my laptop has some water damage and I've been trying to get it back to normal for ages..... no luck so I'm lookin for some help, I wanna diagnose where the damage is so I can either replace that part, or just scrap it and re-use sell the rest b4 it's too late
I spilled some water on it a year ago. It died for 3 days, dried up, started working.
But the battery died within those 3 days, so it would ONLY work if it was plugged into the power outlet.
It worked for a few months more and slowly started dying. The following things started happening:
-At some point it just started freezing after about 24 hrs of being on (Windows XP Pro, never froze on me b4, my system was pretty clean).
-After turning it off I couldn't turn it on immediately after, I'd have to wait for about an hour of it plugged into the wall before it would restart (the fan would go on if I tried and everything, but after like 3 seconds it would just die).
Eventually I started having to wait up to a day of my laptop being plugged in before I could turn it on. And once it was on it would freeze after about 2 hrs. The situation worsened and now it doesn't turn on (I'm not about to wait for a week), and if it did it would crash in like 5 minutes.
It's an HP, it's like 5 lbs and I customized it online, Pentium M 1.3 Ghz, 1 GB ram, 60 GB HD, it's still good!! I still have hope!!
What do you guys think is wrong? What are my alternatives? Have it fixed (bestbuy would do it for $400, helll no)? Replace certain parts? Give up and sell what's left?
Thanks guys
