Thread 23275636

I was playing Pokemon while in the tub now my screen has water damage and double screening. It's been two days.. will it fix with time? It didn't even get directly wet

>>23275636 (OP)
you can replace the screen, but it might be a pain in the ass

>>23275685
The water won't evaporate..? :(

>>23275636 (OP)
maybe next time instead of playing games while you're in the bath like a fucking toddler you'll just wait until you get out

>>23275726
Stop it guys this is serious I need help

>>23275712
well normally it would, but if there's water trapped between the plastic and the LCD panel, it might stay there
you could try opening it up & cleaning the water if it doesn't evaporate in 24 hours or so
if that doesn't fix it, the damage might be permanent

you can normally take the plastic shell off the display, and then take the clear plastic panel off
but alot of the time you have to take apart the entire laptop in order to disconnect the display & get access

look up some disassembly videos for your laptop model, maybe

Thank you asian man. How long would you wait before defaulting to this? I can sauder like a monkey on nzt I might be able to sauder and I'm okay at taking stuff apart like a methhead

>>23275636 (OP)
My laptop works just fine in the bath :3
You should get a more modern toughbook/tablet or something though these are almost extinct

>>23275763
>I can sauder like a monkey on nzt I might be able to sauder and I'm okay at taking stuff apart like a methhead
ah, you can probably do it then :D
just make sure you have all the tools, keep track of screws, be careful not to tear/rip ribbon cables, and make sure you can do the steps in reverse order
>How long would you wait before defaulting to this?
personally i would do it immediately, just in case the water does permanent damage, even if it might evaporate on its own
displays are annoying & fragile

>>23275765
fuck i want one of those :/

>>23275765
That looks like a sturdy guy mine was a Chromebook which I feel they're made more delicate every year with the same amount of features and slightly more ram. My old Chromebook they bricked works in the tub but the new one doesn't.

>>23275786
Okay thank you. Is a double screen each time I turn it on a day in most likely permeant damage?

OKAY OKAY WHILE I HAVE YOU NERDS HERE BROTHERS I AM TRYING TO run Linux Ubuntu on my Chromebook zhn or whatever what the keyboard is broken. I absolutely do not care what happens to it. How do I trick it into thinking I pressed the power buttons? I am willing to be electrocuted.

>>23275903
DIE

>>23275903
I'm sorry that was mean I didn't mean to tell you to die I just wish you were dead sometimes

>>23275906
I WILL DO IT AND YOULL BE AMAZ3D

>>23275903

i'm not sure what you're trying to do, or what the problem is
you can always rip the battery out, but it might break the thing
have you tried holding the power button for like, 30 seconds straight? (not exaggerating, you gotta hold it for a long time)
normally the power button should communicate with the motherboard even if the keyboard doesn't seem to work

>>23275819
i'm not sure
someone might know, but i wouldn't be able to tell from the way the display is fucked up, whether the problem is permanent or not

Don't take baths.
Use a 10m< waterproof phone where water might be an issue. If on a boat or where it might be dropped in water cover its's sides and back with a case with a built in floatation device, like a pocket of air.

>>23275923
The power button super doesn't work I've scrubbed it with alcohol washed the keys tried holding it but I'll try again right now no it did nothing

>>23275954
I've learned my lesson. I won't. Ever again

>>23275806
>chromebook
Theres ur problem anon.
Well that and using ur laptop in the bath
>>23275903
The same laptop????? You need to stop trying to switch it on while its wet or you will fry it permanently

>>23276060
>You need to stop trying to switch it on while its wet or you will fry it permanently
that is true, i forgot

>>23276060
Different laptop
I've had a PC before and was a huge league fag but never saw the appeal into ai king money into a laptop outside of college

>>23275636 (OP)
If you really need to do stuff in a bathtub all the time like that nigga from the French Revolution, you should get an actual waterproof laptop.

>>23276074
The new autocorrect sucks ass and is more retarded than not now.

>>23276075
Hahahaha

>>23276088
I got my ass kicked they took my shoes my bag but atleast they didn't take my bumblebee

>>23276074
Oh its 2 different ppl with the same colour id xD
Sorry I have no idea what ur talking about in this post sorry
>>23276070
Maybe take it apart and wash the water off with alcohol or that spray for cleaning circuit boards. Pls consult someone who knows what they are doing better than me first though as I'm not the best at repairing shit

>>23276129
I'll head to YouTube

>>23276110
>>23276088
eheheh

>>23276129
>Maybe take it apart and wash the water off with alcohol or that spray for cleaning circuit boards.
you can do this, and i've done it to save completely drenched desktop motherboards

it's actually fine for most electronics to get wet, but if you do that while there's current running through them, the metal corrodes extremely quickly
this blue shit usualy
if you shut them off early, you can clean the corossion with distilled water & baking soda, then alcohol, then wait for it to evaporate for 48 hours to a week

displays are more fragile though, from what i understand

>>23276163
I defo don't have any of that so I think I'll hopefully be okay. Since it's just the screen on the one with humidy damage should I just take as part the screen clean it and wait a few days and hope it's fixed? I've heard mixed things on it. Sorry if I'm repeating myself man.

Why the fuck are you saying games in the bath. Are you underage or just retarded foid

>>23276143
>I'll head to YouTube
Yeah just make sure you use ANHYDROUS alcohol.
Dont pour vodka or whatever on it as that's like 60% water you can dry everclear with dehydrated epsom salts but dont buy both at the same store because it'll look like you are making meth.

>>23276185

np

if you can, yeah
since you'll probably have to take apart the whole thing to get access to the display (the water is sandwiched between the plastic and the display, probably), you may as well check the motherboard for any corrosion, just in case
it would suck to fix the display, but then the computer mysteriously dies 3 days later from corrosion

>>23276217
What a pain lol thank you

>>23276213
Comfy..

>>23276217
true

i've used 70% and 90% isopropyl alcohol in the past, i've never had any problems but idk if you're supposed to use it lol

>>23276233
I love you anon

Thank you guys bant is home away from home

>>23276254
<3
good luck anon

>>23276249
Were you playing with your pussy in the bath you dirty girl

>>23276250
Should be anhydrous ideally as itll suck up any water.
It should be over 95% at minimum

>>23276302
i will keep that in mind, ty

>>23276185
Bruh, you can just use regular baking soda and vinegar (like the kind you'd use to make pancakes) if you can't get your hands on isopropyl alcohol.

>>23279407
That is for cleaning off corrosion not drying.
If they put basic or acidic chemicals on a wet circuit board it'll just speed up corrrosion
