Here is a nightmare PC story:
I spent more than a month with a hardware update of a PC. I had tons of compatibility issues etc. finally, I had a working PC, and was happy with it...I was so busy with work that I didn't have the chance to close the case. Today I had a glass of water accidentally spilled and a very small portion of it hit the graphics card and the bottom part of the case. After few seconds I got a graphics card stopped responding message followed by graphics card recovered from an error. I tried to shut down Windows normally, but it wouldn't, so I unplugged the machine...I cleaned of the water where I saw, but there was really very few drops. Also noticed a drop on the motherboard. Turned back on, but no response...then after 30 secs or so the PC started on its own but nothing on the monitor and also no beeping sign of boot. I unplugged the machine, and after a minute or so I plugged it and without hitting the start button, it started on its own! But again no boot. I waited for about half minute and it shut itself off...all my subsequent attempts to turn it on failed. When its plugged the green light on the motherboard is always on...but no other sign of life. I gave up, I unplugged the PC and left for home...
What should I do next? What is my chance to revive this thing? I spent so much time to upgrade this PC that it kills me to see it dead...
