Laptop Water Damage - Compaq

Hello there,

Today I found that water has spilled over the laptop keyboard from the ceiling... i tried to turn it on but it was not working.. no lights or nothing... i immediately removed the battery from it.. turned it upside down and drained water as much as i can.... and then i tried to dry that by keeping it under the Fan... and tried to turn on after sometime... it turned on and i saw the logo but immediately the screen has gone dark... and finally turned OFF i removed the battery again and kept back under fan... and then turned ON again after some hours... and now its booting and i can see the desktop too but its dark....... Something happend to my display when I turned on at first? Please help me....

If there is a Circuit City nearby,(they are an authorized service center for Compaq) I would take it there and ask them for some advice.

 

The water may have caused the contacts between the cable for the monitor and the motherboard or video adapter to corrode a bit. That or water may have found its way into the LCD panel itself. Knowing what region you are in would also help us tell you where you should bring your computer. Also, you may want to try going to HP support chat on their website. There, you could at least give you an amount that it would cost for repair.

 

Hey i have already written that water spilled over the keyboard only...

 

Ok you have water on the keyboard only. Now either look up on HP website and find the parts list for your keyboard and take it apart and see the problem or take it to a repair shop and have it fixed. Try google on your model # and maybe they have some repair advice.
