White liquid on the motherboard (defective)?

My laptop broke and pictures with white liquid were sent to me in the damage report.

What's this?

I haven't seen THAT…

After something that has leaked or the like If that doesn't look like it for me, then it would not only be seen selectively

Is the part still grumbling? Then it can't be bad

It is not running anymore. Could it be milk?

Maybe, maybe not

If the part no longer runs, the "liquid" may be responsible for it, which produced a short, but it is difficult to say so only based on the pictures

If you don't know whether you've wasted milk there - we're not with you that often to know what went inside the servant.

Send us a sample of the liquid, along with enough money for a chemical analysis, then we'll have it analyzed and tell you.
;-)

Honestly, how are we supposed to know (from here, by photo) what it is?

This can be anything. Also a liquid that got into the computer from outside.

The image quality is not sufficient to recognize anything correctly. They would have to do a laboratory analysis in the workshop to find out what that is.

But I suspect that this "dirt" was on it long before the laptop broke. Or did you spill something on your laptop?

No. It could have been my brother because the liquid looks like milk and I don't drink a lot of milk.

Doesn't matter what substance that was.

The fact is: it used to be liquid and the device was seriously damaged by water. This can happen through an overturned glass in exactly the same way as with unprotected transport in the rain.

But I would like to say that you know very well what happened to the device. Because it certainly didn't break overnight and without your intervention.

If milk had run into it, there would be much bigger spots than those tiny dots on the mainboard. So it couldn't have been your brother. Can also have completely natural causes such as condensed humidity or something.
