Early Saturday morning I delved into my desktop to give it a thorough cleaning, certainly not the first time. Because the mobo and g/card were quite filthy I gave them a deionized water bath while everything else (cpu, ram, hd etc) was just wiped clean making sure to not touch any contacts or circuitry.
The mobo and g/card were drained, shaken, tissued, left in the sun and otherwise allowed to dry. However, now my comp refuses to boot. It makes all the usual noises and all board and case lights come on but nothing is coming up on the monitor.
Also, the HD, which I hardly touched, does not seem to be behaving. You can can hear it make that quick, wind up noise at the beginning and the front panel light comes on, as per normal, but then according to the light no more activity. After about 5 or so seconds the light become solid but much dimmer than normal.
I even swapped out the mobo for a different board, doesn't help.
Obviously, many things could be wrong but if you know anything please do tell.
Cheers,
Tom.
