ok so spilt some gatorade on my desk which ran off, and into my computer fan and into the computer.
Of course i went to unplug the computer and right beore i did i noticed the moniter said VGA no signal, the fans were still working. well after it was unpluged i got some tissues and gently started dabbing the stuff off, i took out everything and the psu is fine there arent any burns but im pretty sure the mother board is shorted because there were drops everywhere...so after dabbing everything up i put a small fan on the motherboard..and ill try to plug in in a day from now, but how do i tell if i need to replace the mother board or the whole computer? do i have to just wait and see?

Yeah i really messed it up, it wont do anything, i touched the case and it shocked me pretty badly. So i probably fried everything, oh well was gonna get a laptop for college anyway. Ill just have to say my goodbyes and never drink near a computer again. sorry computer, i didnt mean to Dx

The PSU works (paper clip test), so maybe if i replaced my motherboard the computer would work? Because the psu wont work if conneted to the MB so i probably fried the MB is all?
