Here again are a few highlights of this operation.
Conclusion
And finally, a short summary including a conclusion. First of all, I would like to expressly point out once again that the pictures and actions shown here are NOT intended to encourage imitation. I was aware of the possible consequences and performed all setups and test runs in a controlled environment. A fire extinguisher was also always at the ready.
In general, the situation of a “flooded” computer was not new to me either. I worked in a computer workshop for several years and during that time I saw everything that makes it into Igor’s Sunday photo spreads of horror. In fact, I also once felt the consequences of a cracked acrylic lid of a CPU water block in my own system a long time ago. In principle, the result was always the same: Even if there was a huge puddle on the graphics card, it practically always survived and in every case “only” the board was defective in the end. Whether the boards’ demise is caused by a short circuit in the power supply area or by liquid entering the PCIE slot would now have to be determined by a professional with a measuring device.
The fact is that for a relatively small financial outlay we were able to get the system running again and thus make the owner happy. Since I don’t have to do this on a daily basis anymore, I always have a lot of fun with such rescue actions and I just wanted to “take you along” on such an action – in the hope that it might be interesting for one or the other reader.
A small tip at the end: NEVER (!) test potentially defective hardware in your own “good” system! The installation of defective components can and in many cases will damage the test system.
