computergee Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 Well I was trying to find out what was wrong with the laptop my uncle gave me. After Finaly figuring out how to take out the motherboard I found to my horror a thin, light green crust covering most of the bottom of the motherboard and the case. I call my ucle and he explains its from the countless moutain dew, beer, and all other kinds of liquer spills. After scrubbing it off carefully with alchohol and a soft tooth brush I got it all off. Now its under a lamp to dry it all off. Hopefully it works tomarrow *crosses fingers*. Heres a picture of the horrible laptop.

cybergrunt69 Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 That's AWESOME! I've seen mobos wearing jackets of dust and/or hair, but never seen a fungus growing inside one... Nice find - good luck reviving it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybergrunt69 Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 Can you see if there are any busted traces or ones that may have been 'eaten' but your mobo garden? Did you check/clean/reset all the connections like ram? The ribbon cable connections can be kinda tricky on older machines, you may wanna re-check those connections. Are there any possible connection problems between the CPU and board? Laptop cpus are kinda finicky... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
