UPDATE: Roaches Infested My PC (Follow-up Post)
Hey everyone, just wanted to give an update on my roach-infested PC situation.
So, quick recap — I moved into a Section 8 apartment back in 2020. The place was already infested because the previous tenants left it a mess. Roaches have been a nightmare ever since, and recently they even got into my PC. I opened it up and found a bunch of them inside. I posted here yesterday with a pic, and a lot of people were telling me to just burn it and start over.
Well, I didn’t burn it — instead, I spent today cleaning the whole thing out. Took the PC apart, scrubbed every part as best I could (compressed air, alcohol wipes, you name it), and it actually came out looking pretty decent.
But now I’ve got a new problem…
The PC powers on for like a second, makes a beep, then shuts right back off. It won’t stay on.
Not sure if a component is still fried, maybe the motherboard got too damaged from the infestation, or maybe I missed something during the cleaning. I really need this machine for work and school, and I can't afford a new build right now.
If anyone has advice on diagnosing or fixing this power/beep issue, I’m all ears.
Thanks again to everyone who helped out yesterday — your support meant a lot.
