I poured as much of it out as I could but the power light remained on.
I grabbed my tools and took it all apart as much as I could, took out the two SSDs and the memory and after mopping up as much collapso as I could have left it to dry...
What are the chances of it showing any sign of life when I get back from shooting laters...? rubschin:
No magic smoke escaped from it BTW...

So, I managed to pour a full glass of collapso economico into the keyboard and the screen went blank.Full glass? Fat chance

If the laptop was on when you had your latest moment of cack handedness then it will depend of whether or not you managed to blow any components on the motherboard...

A good point well made! You can chuck most phones in the back for an hour now, why not laptops...? rubschin:

It's just a thought but seeing as you seem to go through gadgets at a rate of knots would you be better off getting a refurbished one rather then forking out for a brand new rig each time?
If nothing else you could still pay for some collapsio then rubschin:
The problem is just buying anything here, let alone a refurbished one. Amazon won't ship here, I bought the last one from an ebay reseller but there isn't much on there at the moment that fits the bill.
There is an English run computer store in Chloracas but their refurbished machines look suitable for XP...
Local stores of course have laptops-aplenty but are expensive and have Greek keyboards...
I'm investigating if Amazon will ship to a BFPO address... rubschin:

Post by: Barman on November 25, 2018, 09:14:50 AM
So here is the text of my advert (with pictures, obvs.)...
Quote
Asus VivoBook S5 - Spares or Repair Only!
Here is an almost new Asus VivoBook S Model S510U.
Unfortunately I spilt wine into the keyboard, the display went blank and it stopped working. I removed the covers to dry any wine but the device still doesn't work.
I have no idea how much damage has occurred, the battery seems fine, there is no obvious damage inside (see pictures) from burning or overheating and no smoke emerged when I had the accident. Unfortunately, I was in the middle of a project when it happened so I needed to replace the unit and have not taken it to a professional to be appraised.
I have removed a data SSD which worked fine so perhaps the damage isn't too severe. I have removed the M.2 SSD that contained the operating system as it may still hold my personal data.
So the device is sold as seen with 16Gbytes DDR4 memory, but no operating system or internal storage. It comes in the original box as shown with power supply and mains lead.
Full Specification.
Asus VivoBook S Model S510UA-BQ202T
Intel i7 CPU
16Gbytes DDR4 Memory
15.6" FHD Display
UK Keyboard
Please note that I have no idea how severely damaged it might be so it is sold as seen with no guarantee and no returns.
So the guy drives all the way here, looks at it and says, "It has an SSD in it does it?". I say, "No, I have removed it and any personal data that might have remained on it".
And then he storms off shouting that he has wasted his journey! eeek:
