I’ve royally fucked up lefty tech comrades, i accidentally spilled water over the keyboard of my old macbook… and it powered off almost instantly.
Dried it off, unplugged it and it’s now sitting upside down next to a dehumidifier… is there any chance it’ll survive?
If not, can you guys recommend me and good laptops i could get second hand? (I need one for uni). Ideally one that can run some variation of linux (no clue how linux works but i don’t want to use windows and can’t afford another macbook)
>>31965Oh and bottled water sometimes has "added" minerals for "flavor" (the stuff that was over budget to filter out) so that can be a problem.
>>31965Tap water run through a brita filter, is that ok?
>>31967I've had close calls but yeah brita filters are pretty decent.
>>31968 (me)
Like it should be fine but if not dust management might save it.
>>31969Thank you comrade anon; i read online though that if it turned off by itself then thats a bad sign and it can’t be salvaged, is that true?
>>31970That's how you know a bit of electrolyte got in there. Dusting it might fix it but if it got in there enough the air compressor can't knock it out, it'd probably be cooked.
How are you going to goon now?
Well, thats it… it’s officially kaput
For the coat of having it repaired i might as well get a new laptop, any suggestions?
>>31978Get one of these laptops and install Trisquel GNU/Linux-libre on it

Yeah ok anon lets call it that.
>>31965Nobody drinks pure distilled or deionized water. It's poison in higher doses. Humans need some salts in the water.
>>32002Amerikkkans installing reverse osmosis filters, centrifugals and distillation plants so they can drink tap
water (that turns the freaking frogs gay)
IT JUST TURNED BACK ON!!!!
It’s a little slow though…
>>32012Battery is clearly charging, idk why it says that
Gonna unplug it anyway and leave it for a while
>>32012Ah that means the battery is probs what got wet then. I'd say just keep it plugged in.
