Well, not everywhere, in fact, probably only one fatal drop! A few hours ago, I bumped over a bottle of water and it splashed onto my computer. Based on how full the bottle still was when I grabbed it, how much landed in a pencil cup in front of my machine, and how much was on my desk, I think only a single drop got through a vent hole in the face panel. Unfortunately, it apparently landed on the controller board for my master storage disk. A short while later, I heard a soft whine like a motor spooling down at the same time I was trying to save an online .pdf. Everything locked up, so I shut down and took out the drive. I inspected the drive, but found nothing. I re-installed it, but my computer doesn't see it. It doesn't show up in the Device Manager, Explorer, or even the BIOS. So, the question is, is it completely dead? Any thoughts on how to give it the Lazarus ability? I found a few drives on Ebay, (for a Controller Board swap), but before I do that I'd like to try to get this one going again. Right now, I just don't have the cash to buy much.
