Display not turning on; keyboard lights up. Suspecting (v)RAM issues
Metin:
Hi all,
My boyfriend got liquid on his laptop and now the screen does not turn on. It has occasionally turned on, only to spit some garbled picture on the screen. It looks similar to what happens when you take RAM out of a running computer, so I'm suspecting this is the issue. I'm not well-versed hardware failures though. I popped it open to check for any obvious signs of water damage, but I couldn't find any (stains, zap marks, etc.). Unfortunately, I don't have any images of the actual device, or what the torn graphics looked like, but here's a random image for comparison: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/u4cFFybZcqc/maxres2.jpg
Any ideas?
