Hi all,
About 3 months ago I poured water all over my Acer Aspire 5920. I immediately removed all componants and left to dry for a couple of weeks.
Now, the laptop only boots once per day! It's the strangest thing.
I have no battery installed, and when I plug the power cable in the blue light indicating there's power comes on on the laptop. However, hitting the power button does absolutely nothing. No whirring, no additional LEDs, nothing at all. Wait 24 hours and bingo, it boots no problem.
I tried a few days ago going into recovery console and restoring factory settings. Weirdly this resulted in the laptop working just fine for a few days, before returning to its old self. When it does boot it seems to be running a bit slow.
This is really confusing me, because I'd assume - due to the water - it was a hardware issue; yet the fact the factory settings restore helped temporarily seems to indicate software issues. Or a combination of both?! It's frustrating because the thing clearly works, it's just being stubborn.
Any help / ideas hugely appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys!
Tom
