Hi, I don't know if his is where I should be posting tis, so forgive me if this is the wrong venue. I spilled water into my computer while using it. The computer froze, I saw a small stream of smoke, and now I can't get the computer to fully turn on. The water spilled mainly on the back of my graphics card and down the memory side of the mobo. I dried out all of the hardware with a hair dryer and made sure everything was completely dry before turning it back on. When I turn it back on (with only tethe memory and hard drives plugged in, and obviously the cpu) I get power to the motherboard (after a one time automatic reboot) fans turn on but I get an error code 23 (OEM memory initialization). When I removed the memory and tried to boot with only the hard drives plugged in, I get an error code 53 (memory initialization) and I hear a continuous long beep followed by two short beeps. I have read that this can be either the result of a failure from the cpu's memory controller, mobo, or the memory itself. I think I have ruled out the memory itself, because I tried one stick of my brother's memory in my computer and I got the same error 23 result. I removed the cpu to check for scorch marks, but I couldn't find anything.
I'm wondering if the community has any suggestions as to how I can determine where the problem is originating, or if its a multiple hardware issue. I obviously can't do any tests in the bios, because I can't reach that point. I was thinking about just purchasing a new mobo and trying that.
