    If you take your computer ( PC or Mac ) to a repair show because of water damage, what are the odds that anything can be recovered in a useful format??

    It depends on the extent of the water damage. My Mom's laptop was half under water (don't ask...:rolleyes:).
    While the motherboard was damaged beyond repair, the drive suffered no damage.

    Remove the drive and put it in an external enclosure - no need for a repair 'show' :D.

    Depends on the water and depth and time. Ice water, rain water, muddy water?, .....rusty water ( a no-no).....salt water - I did that to a beeper back in the day (1995) and 6 ft deep!
