Last night I spilled milk on my laptop.
What shall I do now? It doesn't work anymore, but when I put the battery in, something lights up there. Probably still gets electricity.
Is he Hinne now?
Put in the battery, very bad. It is best to let the computer dry without any power supply
Unfortunately, milk has more components than water that remain after drying, so cleaning is still due, but a professional may be able to help you.
Already think that broken
It is very likely to be defective - water damage is often irreparable.
Unfortunately, you turned it on too early if you didn't let it dry properly.
I guess there's a short circuit on the motherboard.
The problem with milk is also the fats - even if the laptop has dried, the fat in the milk can still short circuits in the worst case - it would be best if you hadn't switched the device on, but removed the battery and handed the device over to a hardware specialist.
But as it is, the device will most likely be broken.
I think it's already too late and the device is ripe for the bin because he switched it on once.
The fats in milk are particularly critical.
In the worst case, short circuits can still occur due to the fat in the milk […]
I have to contradict, pure, water-free fat is not electrically conductive! In the long run, grease would be more of a problem for smell and for moving parts like the fan.
Yes - but the fat is not anhydrous and also dries much more slowly - by that I mean, of course, the liquid in the fat that is still present.
Heat build-up could also become a problem if the device were to run again.
That's true. Although the 3.5% fat in the milk is less than if butter melted on the motherboard.
Well that should be clear.
But you also know that the fat could stick to unfavorable places and that the water could cause short circuits for quite a long time - but that ate itself because he switched on the device.
Disassemble, clean / clean, reassemble and hope
There are laptops with a sealed protective shell under the keyboard because the sauce does not run into the laptop, but the keyboard is usually defective
Yes, that's right. With some bad luck, this is entirely possible.
I still find the mentality of the people funny. Water over your laptop? First turn on to see if it still works! People did you never pay attention to physics? No short circuit without electricity!
Well, while I wash the old circuit boards of my C64 in the dishwasher (or plan to do it), the insurance companies are flooding millions more in water damage to electronic devices.
Well, at least he waited until the next day… Even if that was a bit too short.
If I spill water on a device, I don't just turn it on again…
Well, while I wash the old circuit boards of my C64 in the dishwasher
Reminds me of guests in my parents' holiday apartment - they popped an egg boiler in the dishwasher…
It works! Well claims the internet. So far I've only brushed them off with a brush. The floppy disks are more sensitive anyway. One touch where she reads and she's junk. But the old ones from my father, which are no longer legible, can be "saved" with formatting. (So that at least something new can be saved on it.)
RIP.
It's probably just about securing the data somehow.
Be more careful with drinks in the future.
