Burned Laptop

[BloodDrunk]

When I turned on my laptop (Toshiba Satellite C650), it suddenly bursted and immediately shut off. I was like: wtf? and I raised it up and the water started coming out of it. Obviously someone spilt it and didn't fucking tell me... I immediately dissasembled it and dryed all parts with towel. There was that awful smell when I smelled it and it's all over it (makes me puke). When I turned it on, no smoke was coming out of the base of laptop. It's now in parts, drying in living room. How long should it be like that? And is there any chance of it to start working again? The HDD looks fine, not burned or damaged AFAIK. I looked into the parts and I didn't saw anything burned (or I don't recognize the burned parts) but the smell is still there :O

Just send the bill to anyone who spilled it. If you already turned it on and the circuit was shorted, there are most likely already severely broken parts.

''anyone who spilled it'' is someone from my family. I think that circut was shorted yeah....
I really hope it'll start working by tommorow morning...

Get the hard disk out and backup your data immediately.

It's over. Everything is destroyed, and I mean everything...

Yeah, there isn't much hope when something like a computer gets fried.

That's very bad, you should really find who spilled it, its not cool wasting money and gets away with it.

the water started coming out of it

how could that happen?

And is there any chance of it to start working again?

if this problem is similiar to mine then there is..
i forgot but i think it's need 3-4 day for my laptop to start working again
and then the price is, i can't type A, F, G, J, L, P and some other keys..

When I turned it on, it bursted (sound of small ''explosion''), and then I turned it sideways and water started coming out lol

I've seen a laptop drink liquids several times before ultimately dying but every time, it became worse and worse. Initially, it had to switch to an exterior HDD. Afterwards, the quality just slowly decreased. It may still be usable but I doubt it'll be like before. In the future, if you spill something on a laptop, immediately take out the HDD, grab a towel, put it on the keyboard, close it and turn in upside down. leave it for around 10 mins.

in my case, my laptop was splashed with water by my brother..
it is not burst like yours, and now it iss working
you should ask that someone what did he do to your laptop then you will know which part is broken..

yes right, mine is also like that..
my laptop sometimes turned off by itself or sometimes the screen is blur

 

[BloodDrunk]

Did a detailed check with my older bro and it seems that every hardware got fried...
I can just let it goooooooooo

 

[DivineLight]

[BloodDrunk]

yes, I can.

Mine also like that, but it just fall from a car and the upper-left corner hit the ground...
They said that the cooler has broken...

 

[DivineLight]

Ofel

@Ofel

Get a laptop cooling pad.

@The_Blood

Just buy a new one.

Clearing the dust once every decade can also help.

 

[trolman]

Chaning your hive avatar might be the solution. Worked for me.

 

[DivineLight]
