Don't give up!


It may just need to dry out naturally. When did you spill the water?


I spilt wine all over my partner's laptop, there was a hideous noise and it stopped working, including not turning on. I was told by a computer "specialist" that it was beyond repair (for which advice he charged me thirty quid). I had to buy my partner a new laptop :(


I gave the old one to somebody for parts.


He took it apart and cleaned it (only because wine is sticky, you wouldn't have the same problem with water), and apparently it is now working absolutely fine.

Water damage can have variable results..


The Main problem / damage is done when turning on the device before drying it out.


What ever the outcome, it should be possible to recover your pictures from your hard-drive.


I do not have the necessary Leads to do that task.


As suggested earlier, try Netquest.

Yes. Obviously it depends on whether any permanent damage has been caused.


That's why I said it MAY just need to dry out naturally .....


Dear oh dear.


ETA: It may, of course, be completely f****d, but let's look on the bright side to start with, shall we?

    • I think it's outrageous that he thinks he can do this. This is about reducing waiting lists. How dare he seek to fundamentally change the judicial system to address administrative failings (for which he is responsible). Courts are notoriously slow. Judges are slow. Perhaps look at WHY there are so many cases - what's going on? is crime going through the roof? Why not more judges, why not look at how court admin is managed?  We had one judge - over retirement age, who only worked once a week (possibly) and was slow, frail and no idea about emails etc. no sense of urgency. I actually complained which did hurry things up.  This is not a dynamic private company who wants to get things done - it takes time, it's a complicated and thorough process. RIGHTLY SO.  As least he's not lifting the lid on free legal aid and increasing the tax payers funding of it.
    • Unfortunately I've had very bad experiences with John Lewis technical help department, who have more than once given me completely wrong information, and once had to pay me compensation as a result. In any case unless you bought the phone there I'm not sure they would help? A local phone shop might, though.
    • Just had three areas of damp expertly dealt with by JKA Damp proofing & Plastering. Each area had a different cause and Jonathan diagnosed and explained the problems comprehensively. The family firm then carried out all the necessary repairs having prepped each area meticulously. The work was done to the highest standard and then everything was cleared up beautifully. I would wholeheartedly recommend the firm if you have damp problems!
    • hi Tom I'd ask a teenager. I'd lend you mine but they are asleep.  Pop into a phone shop and ask for help with it. It's quite straightforward, but easier once you know.
