Hello guys, i’ve come to a weird issue with my father-in-law laptop. I will simply explain what happend

My father-in-law left his laptop turned on, on a night table, with charger on, on laptop there was no games or resource taking softwares, after his come back laptop was completely blank, fans off, not reacting to power button.

As he sent me the laptop I tried:
-unplugging battery, holding power button for a while and trying to turn it again
-I’ve check the power cord and charger is working fine
-completely reassembled device, found out that thermal paste was all over gpu, not only the silver plate but on circuit too, cleaned It with 99% alcohol and microfiber

To mention laptop was sent to some places to recover from water damage ( like 3 years ago or so), after completely disassembly found a lot of stains that weren’t cleaned as they should be


-tried to find any decolor from short circuit, didnt found

However, after cleaning rest stains and the thermal paste, after plugging to the charger, is able to hear “clicking” sounds, checked if there is power from charger and battery, there is but laptop does not respond to anything

No LED’s of charging, no single fan spin, nothing

There is only clicking sound

Is there any way to check if motherboard is dead, or maybe there is something I will be able to replace as I own precise soldering iron and heater


Thanks for any reply’s in advance

The motherboard is probably shot. Can you track down where the clicking is coming from? Hard drive possibly?

Motherboard probably dead. Replace it if it's worth it to you, although it frequently makes more sense to just get a new one. If it had prior water exposure, who knows what else is wrong with it.

It was like half cup of water, it was doing well because it been almost two years since that happened, like I said there were some stains on back of the motherboard close to the screws and the place where hdd should be

I would just get a new laptop. I don't think anyone works on water damaged units just for the simple fact that they don't know how extensive the damage is. A half a cup of water is actually quite a bit to electronics.
