Next up..acer aspire 5517..dead, water damaged.

This is gonna be a long shot but why not? Rite. Customer claims water damage, who knows mayhem I can bring it back 2 life.
Battery light on.
Turns on!!! but guess what!? Beeps like hell, continuously. And video goes off.
Actually its beeps loud until you press the power button then it GOES
Into Windows, but once it loads up, lcd starts flickering, and Windows POP up as if you were clicking them.

This is is going bizzerk!! Hopefully is all cause of the water damage

Crazy me..halfway through taking apart I realized I haven't check memory....well, replaced it and it Works!! No beeps, no flickering.

Moral of story: don't go by what customers say. This turned out to be a memory issue. Not water damage as claimed by customer.

Update: even tho the beeping noise was fixed by swapping memory, IT'S still acting up, clicking stuff on its own and whatnot.

**update: customer came back with unit acting up, replaced keyboard and its running smooth now, keyboard seemed damaged by liquid.
