Crazy gf put my mini in the dishwasher. Completely unrelated to why we were fighting…. Perhaps the iPhone 6 would have been more appropriate. Anywho,,,, took it apart and dried it…. Thought she was good and it fired up then…. Went to dinner and bought some electric spray stuff and cleaned it some more… and now nothing…. Found water in the power supply…. Dried that out and got out my meter….. Nothing…. Only thing I can get is a hot heat sink. No beep no lights no smoke… !&&* I don’t even see damage anywhere. I’m getting 11.8 at the power supply and to the board…. The power switch works. Any ideas on where the circuit breakers are on this board. I can micro sauder quite well…. Any help fixing this or pointers would be greatly appreciated. I was hoping I zapped the power supply but I’m quite sure it’s working….. Please help me Btw dint really get too much water in there… Just enough I suppose Update (03/15/2016) So I cleaned it with IPA and put it all back together…. Plugged it in and it turned on after a minute or so…. Log in screen flashed a few times between no signal on the tv. In plugged it be now it won’t do any thing…. I’m getting there. One time I had to call apple care and they did this weird thing with the power cord to get it to start…. Any chance you guys might know what to do? Also the white light and chime were working if that means anything.
I’ve heard of strange things your’s takes the gold medal! Sadly, I don’t have much hope for your system. Don’t use any electric cleaners here as most have oil in them which will just make more of a mess! You might be able to salvage the HD and RAM but you really need to clean things down with a high grade of isopropyl alcohol (85% or better). The higher the percent the better here as you want to use the alcohol as a dryer as it will pull the water out. let the alcohol evaporate by keeping the parts warm (sunny window sill) for a few days. The cross your fingers!
