When you think the simplest thing is wrong with a computer that you cannot see, always expect the worst. :Q

This won't be working. It's 10/7. Permanently. Still cleaning up the other parts. :shocked:

Everyone always thinks liquids are sooo innocent... NOW YOU SEE THEIR POTENTIAL! OH GOD! THE CARNAGE!

I'm trying to figure out how the board got so much physical damage. The board takes both DDR-2 and DDR memory and only DDR2 was used yet the DDR slot is nicked. The case got splashed so the insides were soaked. Salt water too. Does a good job on the power supply. Might as well drag steel wool across the pcb. :Q

That's a 16X PCI-E slot not AGP. 😛

I did that. :Q The CPU looks OK but who knows?

I still don't get it. Did you find this thing washed up on the beach or something?

If a beach was in site at this time the PC would be the least of the worries. Apparently this happened Saturday night when we had an 85 mph gale and 28 foot seas. :Q

Are you sure it isn't 10-85 as well?
 
can it be fixed?

:laugh:

I love the responses. Sadly the sarcasm meter displays not a hint of activity. :Q

Definitely not 10-85. Well maybe after the retaining broke loose. 😛 Definitely QSB though. 😉

It probably could have been fixed until you started prying sh|t with the screw driver. I've fixed a fried amp before where even a small section of circuit board was burned.

Umm no I don't think so. I knew it was dead when the power supply got a good soaking with sea water. I always wanted to see how fragile those LGA sockets are and indeed, just a few touches with a finger will render them completely useless. :Q The NB core was also shattered from the heatsink smashing into it. The shock was so strong that the holes where the hard drive was attached to the cage - 20 gauge steel - are elongated slightly! It will be interesting to see if the hard drive still works. :Q

Well if the chipset was crushed then yea it's dead. I still dunno WTF happened to it though. Was it drop kicked? You might be able to RMA the hard drive if it's still under warranty. :evil:
 
Apparently the shoring (retainer) was not sufficiently secure and it broke loose and was tossed about. So yes the drop kicking analogy is probably close.

For those of us who may not be in the know: where exactly was the system at the time? What "retainer" was it mounted to?

in a boat, and what it was mounted to came loose while said boat was being tossed around in above-mentioned gale
 
Damn you geeks are making me use Google to get your jokes!

10-7 = Out of service. Got that,

10-85 = My address is... Don get that one.

If you have a 10-95 that's 10-85, you have a dead animal that's possibly rabid. 10-4?
