So yesterday I spilled water on my pc and I believe that the motherboard is bad. I followed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FWXgQSokF4 and my psu is fine. Everything else works (hard drive, dvd player, etc).


I had a MSI H61M-E33 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel H61 HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130588 ) In a Rosewill CHALLENGER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153 ).

I do not like the case at all, for it's too noisy; however, I do not have the funds to replace that right now. My question (since someone helped me build my first computer) is what motherboard can I replace it with since this one is discontinued? Or do you think warranty will work? There are no signs of water damage on it, you think I could send it back for a new from MSI co.?

Thanks
