I just built my computer and it was working fine for a few WEEKS. I had it in my basement and my basement flooded a little. Now i dont think that any components got wet because it was on a high table. But i BROUGHT it upstairs and tried to turn it on a few days later and the computer seems to run fine (Fans work, lights up, etc.), but i am not getting any picture on the monitor and the monitor works. The keyboard is also not lighting up. Someone please help me im really nervous. THANKS in advance, JustinEven if it didn't get wet, it still may have been damaged. Perhaps from humidity or something. The keyboard and monitor work on another computer? Do another monitor and keyboard work on this one? What OS are you using? Have you checked inside for any signs of DAMAGE, or perhaps loose cables?Justin123 ......That doesn't sound good.
How long was the machine exposed to the moisture in the basement ?
My first question is ....do you have insurance ?
Next , I would try the following.
Open up the tower and and use a large fan to circulate ambient air through the machine..... ( with all that moisture present in the wet basement, the interior of the machine may have absorbed some ) Then once you are 100% SURE that things are completely dry......... Remove and reseat all the ram and any plug in cards.
Open up the keyboard and make sure there's no moisture in it .
Use another machine to test the mouse, keyboard and monitor.
Check all the parts inside the tower for any signs of corrosion as well.

Once you are confident that everything is dry ......put everything back together and try to boot up the machine again.

The monitor and everything works and even know there was no picture on the monitor i still got one POST beep when i started it up. Also its not the graphics card because i never even installed the drivers for the graphics card yet and it was running on integrated graphics.Try the monitor on another machine to see if it works...

Replace the keyboard with a brand new one...the monitor and keyboard work but since i bought from new egg they said theyll take the mobo bak. Props to emGood deal!
