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?

    • We have had Tony and team do a number of repairs and decorative work over the past year in our Victorian terrace in Peckham. Most recently, they painted the majority of our house while we were on holiday, where they spent 12 hour days over two weeks working non stop to complete plastering, walls & ceilings, and woodwork paint on custom joinery. Tony communicated throughout but kept the end result a surprise. We returned to the most beautiful house decor, with the whole place spotless too. I would have no hesitation in recommending TDR, the work is always to an extremely high standard, well priced and I always trust Tony and his work. We will use TDR again for further work in our house. 
    • It's quite normal with chain shops that have a large real estate portfolio who are in the proverbial. When the writing is on the wall they know exactly how much they can afford to pay to keep a site open and the landlord then has a choice:  accept the lower rent or find a new tenant. Finding a new tenant sometimes means not getting any rent from an insolvent company, paying to clear their stuff out and giving the new tenant a rent free period to fit out their shop and establish themselves. It can be expensive for the landlord to refuse a rent reduction. I think this landlord has probably landed on their feet here though, getting Tesco interested. 
    • When I used to go to the one in Woodwarde road I found them expensive but not exceptional- They kept suggesting I have an acid treatment on my toenails which have a tendancy to become ingrown-I think it was many hundreds of pounds (about £400 5 or so years ago) when I found my current Podiatrist (who teaches at The Royal college of Podiatrists) he told me that A: that treatment was'nt foolproof and the nail could grow back and B: that he really did'nt reccomend it in my case. I also did'nt like how the charges at Woodwarde rd just kept getting higher and varied depending on whom was treating me.
