What sudden rain can do

I have been busy trying to work out what damage was done to my setup after a sudden rainstorm. I was inside having a short kip!

Fortunately I have one of those earth leakage detecting mains distribution boards that powers everything.. it shut all mains power off at the first sign of leakage from active to earth.

Both laptops refused to boot. Again a good mate established dead keyboards.

So if your laptop stops working it is most probably the keyboard being faulty due to moisture.

Apart from secondary mains distribution boards full of water everything else worked again after drying out.

The other trick is to make sure whatever you want to test is totally dry!
