Laptop bios time and language

[bchiem_01]

Hello, im trying to fix a laptop that had water damage done to it . when i try to do some test on the hard drive from the bios i noticed that the time on the bios constantly changed every sec and when i got to a certain point of the bios the language would always change. is the problem with the motherboard?

well... if the time isn't changing then there's something wrong... time always counts forward...

sounds like theres still some water in the keyboard and it's causing contacts to engage... have you let the unit dry for days, open and taken apart?

oh sorry i forgot to add the time was changing but its how hour part that changes fast

is it possible to clean up all the sticky parts of the motherboard with alcohol??

yes it is possible... with the correct spray
