hp-2000 2b29wm notebook pc
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I spilled water on my other hp-2000 2b29wm notebook pc, and it shut down, so I eventually bought a second model, same model.  Now, I wish I could repair the other one so I have a spare computer.  Any advice as to how I can do this?

 

I did try to turn the computer back on a few times, but it did nothing.  Later I found that you are not supposed to do that.  I let it just sit for a few months and tried it again and it still does nothing.  Any way I can fix it that is not too complicated?  I am not a geek.

 

thanks for any advice that might be good,

Janie100

Janie,


Yes it will be complicated and costly.

Motherboard connections might have got short-circuited. This is the reason you were not able to bring it back to life.

Replacing board involves getting the part, labour charges, other associated issues like re-tattoo BIOS chip with hardware hashes using HP propriety tool.

I'll not spend money on this one more.

Thanks so much for your answer.  This solves it -- I won't spend the money on repair.  I guess I could sell on Ebay for "Parts & Repair Only."  

 

Thanks much,
