about a week ago, a family member spilled coke through the top of my antec 1200 case through the fan. i wasnt home at the time, but i believe that the pc was on
fried the motherboard but all the other parts seem to be undamaged except the graphics card, which is questionable.

it looks to have what is a burn mark on it, but i cant tell because some of the coke did fall on the gpu and the part the looks burnt is where the coke was and i cant tell if its residue from the coke that i just cant get off.

my question is...
if the graphics card is done for, will it damage my new motherboard when it arrives and i put the gpu in? if the gpu did get fried as well, could this possibly hurt my new mobo?
 
1. What they said.

2. SHOOT THAT FAMILY MEMBER! Or chop their arms off.
 
haha, no it doesnt turn on at all. tries but fails, and keeps trying til you turn switch on psu off.

i would chop their arms off, it i didnt think it was my wife that did it,lol. she needs them arms :) well, least the hands.

what really sucks is i had just finished building it not even 2 weeks before it happened. you can imagine how upset i was when i got home from work.
