![]() In between the beginning of this and now, the battery had died and since I couldn't charge it myself I had to borrow a friend's Series 9 to charge it in. Still a bit much considering I got screwed but a helluva lot better than the grand I was looking at through Samsung. So I then explored my repair options and since Samsung told me that repair would cost the price of the laptop and that buying a new motherboard from them would cost the price of the laptop minus $300, I just went on ebay and bought a replacement for $450. ![]() My experience is that these issues usually go away after a few stubborn water molecules evaporate. After all of that, the laptop booted and ran fine with the exception that the keyboard was sometimes sending 2 characters when some keys were hit + some other weird things that keyboards do after water gets on them. I dried the laptop out by soaking up as much as I could then putting it in rice for a while, then cleaned the corrosion off of the motherboard with the help of vinegar and rubbing alcohol. As expected there was a nasty short and a bunch of corrosion around the area where the power adapter meets the motherboard. ![]() The funny thing is I think that it would've been all right if the laptop had not been plugged into the AC-DC power adapter. I am talking about this light: http /i./YRDWPJR.pngĪbout 8 months ago some dick poured water on my laptop then closed the lid and bailed. What does it mean when the charging indication LED on the NP900X4C (aka Samsung Series 9) blinks green?
