Acer Spin 713: Is it safe to open it up to soak up the tea I spilled on it?

Tue, 30 Sep 2025 11:37:20 -0700

My Stanley leaked my black tea with Stevia INTO my Chromebook. I let it dry for a day, then let it charge.I got it to charge, turn on, and function, but there are a few keys that seem to press others at the same time. Obviously, this means there is either still water or a sticky path left. Can I safely open it to wipe it off? Or are there things I should particularly watch out for with these Chromebooks?

Acer Switch Alpha 12 SA5-271-71NX: Need to restore computer to like new again

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 14:24:51 -0700

I have just received my Acer switch back after it had been stolen, sold then retrieved by authorities and returned back to me but there has been a new password and security set up on it which is unfortunately preventing me from getting into it. Apparently there is some sort of software installed onto it preventing any sort of reset. I was thinking maybe changing the hard drive or mother board or something will help ?? Would this restore computer to like new again

Acer Spin 713: Why isn't replacement battery recognized?

Sun, 03 Aug 2025 12:01:32 -0700

I've tried several replacement batteries and none of them will boot up after installation. I was able to get each of them to work by installing them with the charger plugged in BUT, if you sign out or power it off it's back to square one.. no recognition of the battery and no boot up. FYI, I've tried after market and OEM batteries with the same result. Does anyone have a solution or explanation?
