Hello, my friend and I are now in the process of trying to get his PC working, after he had transported his comp to a LAN party it wont boot.

We've seen the fans start spinning for a split second before powering down again after smashing the power button.

We have reason to believe it's due to water damage, because it rains a s**t-load outside.

 

Its a an ASUS p8z77 delux mobo, with vengeance ram, corsair 760i PSU and a 670 gainward in a CM stoormtropper case(we're suspecting water droplets slipped through the top vents(also question; can some droplets shorted something?)).

 

Soo, any tips on trying to get it working?

 

- Thanks from two guys at a LAN party  :P

Does it post? (reach the mobo splash screen)

Is there a blue screen? 

So I spelt something wrong in my post... I don't care I don't read through what I write and I type very quickly.


Intel 3770k stock, MSI Z77A-GD65, MSI GTX 760, Corsair Vengence DDR3 1600Mhz 16Gb, Corsair RM 550W, Samsung 830 256Gb, some random hdds.

Reset CMOS. (pull the battery and AC line out for a few mins) replace it and see if you boot then.

 

and yes rain is like death to a PC, its conductive and can break stuff easily

 

 

Silly question, why on earth didint you cover it while transporting it?

Quack 🦆

We'll try that Altecice and report back!

 

Also, if anything broke because of water, say like the GPU, could we just unplug it and play off the integrated graphics?

 

(Edit: it wasn't we who carried it, it was the my friends father, who most probably didn't cover it or at least good enough)
