So today… my pc shut down.. i spilled some soda on my desktop, and my heart pounded like crazy, almost got a hearth attack, my pc, who has been with me since 2015, and been my most loyal friend, could not handle the pain… it slipped through my «waterpoof» top and it fell onto my graphics card, main card and vents… it automaticly shut down before i even could jump dont and shut the cable… i did all i could, dried it and found out it had no pulse.. tried to give it first aid but there was no sign of life…
Sitting alone listening to sad music… rents are too high, got bills to pay, this is hard.. cant get a new one i have to pray i can someday get this pain of my chest…

Rest in pieces, you were a good PC.
Like a candle in the wind 🕯️
Damn sorry to hear that bud. Your PC is in a better place now.
If this happens to anyone:
RIP the power cord out INSTANTLY
Take out CMOS battery
Take out motherboard power and GPU power cables
STRIP every part and lay out on table
Inspect damage
Replace PSU instantly (OP, may be a dead PSU or motherboard, don’t give up hope! )
Clean socket and wash with ISA and distilled water, do it vigilantly and make sure no corrosion can occur
Now hopefully the PC still works if this happens to anyone. OP, it may still work, just don’t give up! PC parts are resilient.
DONT GIVE UP. Linus tech tips has a great video on how to handle this
When are people going to stop leaving drinks and shit around their PCs? Slob.
How long did you wait until you turned it on again?.
We all make mistakes, it just turns out that some mistakes are heckin expensive.
I’m sorry brother, I feel your pain. Hopefully some of the advice in this thread can help you get back up and running!
9 years? Not a bad run. Share the specs.
DAMN long lifespan
Fix it.
My build got completely submerged when my hose flooded. Left it off for two months. It’s fine.
gone but never forgotten
This is why i keep ANY liquids away from expensive electronics lol
I got a dtx am4 board for you if you want. Just cover shipping. To help you start a new build slowly
I had this DEEP fear pop into my head today when i nearly bumped my coke DIRECTLY over my PC.
I am so sorry for your day man.
Your parents are too high?
It’s OK to cry a little bit about this
My rule of thumb – NO liquids near the PC – water stays on a separate table not close to the pc
Also good habit to not eat in the pc room
Rejoice, it has been with you for 9 years. This is very good
You could say “He Thrashed It!”
one day my baby just stopped staying awake for more than 10 minutes, had to strip her down and send her to some other geeks
Take it apart and clean the parts with alcohol and a rag. Cotton swabs where a rag won’t do.
dont let the evil smoke out yet!
You cursed yourself by putting an apple sticker on your pc case. I mean what did you expect?
