It might be water evaporating from the wet rag, altho I am not sure. Please show pictures. Also if you havent make sure you turn off the pc and unplug it.

 

EDIT: if you are trolling then just don't...

If your motherboard is damp, you need to unplug it and dont use it for at least 48 hours while the water dries off. By turning it on while wet, you may have fried your motherboard and it may never work again.

 

Theres no need to go and ask for help on other's posts just because no one has replied to you in less than one minute.

 

EDIT: like others said, rubbing alcohol will displace the water and help the process along as it evaporates quickly.

It has to be at least 2,000 degrees to do anything.

Actually I'd microwave it, it takes 15 seconds instead of 2 hours. Use medium settings, or the popcorn button works on most too
