Laptop wont power up
Go to solution
Solved by bmx6454,
48 minutes ago, Big Nav said:I powered it up right after I had re-applied the thermal paste for the second time after cleaning the motherboard, I read that the alcohol dries quick enough it wouldn't be a problem. granted I had to use 70% and not 90% because it could not find the 90% due to people buying it up the second it hits the shelves to make their own hand sanitizer, or so the lady at the store told me. I propped up a box fan over the top of it to dry it out, because @bmx6454 I had bought it used from a pawn shop and it has some stripped screws on the motherboard and I can not completely take it apart.
alcohol can take alot longer to dry when it gets under chips.
