Hi Guys
My boy emptied the complete bottle over my open motherboard. I just pulled out the heatsink for repasting and the next moment it was a swimming pool.
So i spent my next few hours trying to dry it up using a hair dryer after removing the parts from the case completely.
There is no damage to the harddisk, GPU or the PSU for sure. I am not sure about the Ram but I believe they are also fine.
When i tried to turn it on, it doesn't boot up but the fans are running properly. It may boot on any random start or after 10-15 mins of powering on. Since I have that tiny motherboard speaker, I know when it boots up. There also is a red led for memory check which lights up which is also a sign of successful booting always. So after a few this and that, what I have figured out is that every time it managed to boot after a lot of CLRTC jumper here and there, it asks for BIOS setup. and doesn't boot on next start. So I removed the CLRTC jumper permanently and it boots successfully on 50% attempts but I have to enter the BIOS setup everytime. So everytime I put the jumper back, it will boot only one time and I can save the bios settings, use the PC without a problem for even more than hours without a single error, even played demanding games on it and that seems to be no issue. Its just the issue with booting sometimes, mainly after the bios settings are saved. I have also flashed the latest BIOS again.
So my question is.
What kind of damage is possible there and is there is fix for this?
One thing to note is that there is a push button for bios flashback near to those jumper where I have seen some water while drying this up and nothing ever happens on pushing that button. So, I was just guessing if the issue is with the damaged button? (permanently joined/connected circuit.
I am not keen on investing money on new motherboard because I was anyways planning to upgrade after saving some money.
