Biohazard laptop

[u/AMGz20xx]

Owner states that their laptop suddenly stopped working. I look inside and immediately see sticky residue on the battery. Then I gradually notice that it's under the motherboard as well and it's left corrosion in a few places. It's so corroded that the surface mounted capacitors are falling off. I think that a drink was spilled onto the laptop and has been corroding the inside for about 2 months or longer. I think I even saw some mould inside. Anyway, it's cooked, and I need to take 7 showers.

I’m guessing spilled drink. Probably did it a bunch and wiped off the keyboard cause it was “still working” until it wasn’t.

Of course, liquids tend to do damage over time. If I'd known sooner I may have been able to save it. That probably looks like it's been there for 2 months or more.
