Get a call from an older couple I know that their PC is not working (does not turn on) so I stop by to check it out. It's an older Athlon II X4 desktop from HP that I set up for their business. Over the years I've replaced the PC's PSU and HDD on separate occasions so I know it well.
I remove the side panel and hit the start button, CPU fans starts running like an old car's motor. Starts fast then slows down, then starts up again fast then slows down. The BIOS screen does not post. I shut down the PC and start it up again and it won't even turn on even though power is going to the mob (mobo light is on).
I notice a dried up liquid marks on the PSU, kind of like dried sap on wood board. I run my finger down the PSU and it's definitely a dried up liquid. I go to smell the liquid and I know it instantly...cat piss (we have a cat at home as well). Their damn cat pissed into the computer through the metal mesh port on the side panel...probably more then once...
