Fujitsu Lifebook N3530 Motherboard

[eric76]

Hey Everyone

I have a client that spilled water on her Fujitsu Lifebook N3530 laptop and now it will not boot. I have taken it apart and let it dry for four days and now it gets a power light and the hard drive spins — but no fan and nothing on the display.
I've been looking for a replacement board, but I can't seem to find any on Ebay. Can anyone point me to someone that sells motherboards for Fujitsu?
Thanks for your time.

Have you tried drying in the oven. Once cleaned well very well with an electronics wash. Let room dry overnight then dry in oven. Heat oven to warm about 200f and turn off and let cool down to about 150f. Put the board in the oven and let it stay for about 30 min. Try the board again after it is cool. If it does not work after this you will need to replace it.

Haven't tried the oven yet, but I think I may give it a try. Thanks for the reply.

I have to ask... uhh..

Oven?

How does this work? gets rid of all the moisture?

Yes, it draws the moisture out that is under the components. Just keep it under 150F and the oven off. The freezer also works great when you suspect weak solder joints.
