Hello all. While at a friends house tonight, his brother approached me with an issue. While he was out of the house it had rained. This rain, leaked into his window and on to the top of his tower. His tower has a top mounted fan and some of the rain water managed to get in there. He says the system was in sleep mode at the time. He said he took the fan out and removed all water and then placed a heater in front of the system to attempt to dry it out. Never tried to turn it on.
Some hours later, he plugged in the power cord and when doing so got a light shock in return. When trying to turn the computer on, nothing. The PSU is top mounted and got a little wet so my first assumption is that it may have been bad. I tried his brothers PSU and the green light on the motherboard was lit. I then tried the same test with his PSU and surprisingly got the same result, the green light on the mobo was lit.
So, it seems to me that the PSU is at least working enough to send power to the mobo and the mobo is at least working enough to get this power and illuminate the little green light. So, what else could it be? I realize that it could be a multitude of things but I am really trying to pinpoint the issue, if possible.
I don't really have exact hardware specs at this time. :/
