    I had an asus transformer that performed very poorly after only a few months of usage. It recently got drowned in milk, and I now have milk inside my touch screen, and I could hear the battery shorting out inside. Is there anyway i can open up the tablet, inspect the SSD, format it, inspect the RAM, and potentially transfer them to my new 11" thinkpad?

    It would be helpful to know what tablet model you're talking about.

    As far as I know ASUS uses proprietary SSDs in there.

    Clean with isopropyl alcohol, and cross your fingers.
