Digger
(Acer E1, Windows 8, 6 gigs of ram, Intel-i5) So basically I spilled something on my computer and the keyboard stopped functioning I used q-tips and rubbing alcohol to remove the corrosion on both sides of the motherboard however now the laptop screen doesn't come up it starts the cpu fan and hard drive indicator activate for a second along with the power indicator however they quickly shut of only leaving the power indicator. I took out both ram - same issue. I took out the fan - same issue. Tried the whole hold down the power button for 60 seconds then use the power cable - didn't work. I have a feeling it's not the hard drive because I can hear the fan of the hard drive going for a bit. So I think it might be the motherboard which is why I want to completely take it out and wash it in the sink. The problem are these 2 wires though how do I take them out I tried pulling however I don't want to break them - http://m.imgur.com/MShrvuS Motherboard - http://imgur.com/NOr24Os http://imgur.com/R7zdUdA
Any help would be super appreciated thanks! P.s its safe to wash a motherboard in water then let it dry for a day right?
