Recovering HP Compaq Presario from a Water Dripping Incident

Two days ago my HP Compaq laptop was undergoing hibernation mode after a days work.

Then, an unimaginable event took place.

While  turning on my hp laptop using it’s own battery the screen went blank….

Checked on the bios settings – “Hard Disk not found”

Restarted the laptop…

“No bootable disk found, Please insert media”

The sudden rush of adrenaline spiked.

Racing against time, I had 50/50 chances

I watched in horror while dismantling the hard drive bay and saw it soaked and wet in water.

I was both:

Pessimistic – the laptop and it’s hard drive is fried, burned, short circuit to pieces.

Optimistic – open the hard drive bay and dried it with a piece of tissue paper and blow dry.

The following day…

Assembled the hard drive

bios check – hard drive is online

booting to windows 7 success!

files intact.

I could not contain my joy. I was very happy!

A brilliant idea of hot blow drying the laptop and the hard drive saved the day.

now my laptop has recovered from a water dripping incident from a faulty air conditioner.
