]Hey! Left the computer at the repair shop once I detected that the keyboard was not working as normal. Then I felt some water on the display. They wanted to replace the whole computer and I declined their repair proposal. Now I got the computer back and it seems to work. What’s the next step to test if I should keep the computer or just throw it away? Don’t want to burn my house down or get an electric shock. I am a bit tech savvy but not so used to fixing stuff. Thank you
Hi! Even if you computer seems to work fine now, later on you might have problems because of that water you spilled on it. You won’t get any electric shocks from it, nor will it burn the house down, so don’t worry. I would simply open it up, look for any sorts of water corrosion, damage (usually white spots) on the board and on other components and clean them up with isopropyl alcohol.

You need to get that motherboard in a ultrasonic cleaner with a proper ultrasonic cleaning solution made for electronics as soon as possible. It may be fine now but once corrosion sets in you will need motherboard repair. After a cleaning it should be good to go. No risk of burning your house down or anything so don’t worry. 100C is a little warm but not unusual for that board.
