| 233177 | 2004-04-30 23:29:00 | So long as it was off when the Speights hit it, or at least you switched it off immediately and didn't try to turn it on again, there is really no reason why the MB can't be cleaned and restored to working order. There are companies that specialise in restoring flood and fire damage electronics including computers so the technology and processes are there. Problem is, most computer service companies provide component replacements only and are not true diagnostics/repair specialists. If all else fails (insurance etc) see if you can find a company that will strip it down and wash the mother board & touchpad. All it needs is clean water, and provided it is flushed and dried properly there is no reason why it shouldn't work again. I have washed a lot of dirty circuit boards in my time with nothing more than warm water and detergent, and provided they were properly dried they always worked OK. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

You'll remember in future that when you're having lunch, liquid or otherwise, it's time for a break away from the computer.;-) It's always an "accident" when it happens. But it's not an accident that the possibility arose. And Mr Murphy will make sure that it happens. :_| |
