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?

The man is an egotistical buffoon, similar in ways to Starmer, another egotistical, do as I say, not as I do, wedged to the hilt hypocrite who still thinks he's Head of the DPP not the first minister.   Certainly don't want beef from the US, it'll hurt our own beef production farmers, revered around the world as the very best with the quality of British and especially prime Angus Scotch Beef.  Just don't export to the US and only import from there what is essentially necessary.

    • Ground nesting bees are different. They don't swarm in the same way. https://beehunterma.com/how-to-safely-get-rid-of-ground-nesting-bees/#:~:text=Using a hose%2C gently soak,labeled for ground-nesting bees. Sorry I think that might be American bees. But so far as I can see the method for UK bees with water would be the same. It seems the most humane way, as it just encourages them to relocate. I had a nest of white tailed bumble bees in my garden last year. It was fascinating watching them go in and out of the ground.   But then I didn't need to put a shed over them!
    • If it's a bumble bee nest they won't be interested. But they are an important part of the local ecology. I don't know whether bumbe bee nest can be transferred readily. But they shouldn't be destroyed.
