Recently I accidentally spilled some water on my motherboard while I was blowing dust out of my computer. I took it in to a local computer store and they found that there were a few vital components that were irreparably damaged, the USB ports, the controller and possibly other things..
I just purchased a refurbished HP on ebay and I wanted to know if I could salvage the 2 512mb memory sticks from the damaged computer and put them in the hp. Both computers have DDR1 memory slots so I'm not worried about compatibility. I'm worried that the water damage might have hurt the memory sticks and that putting the memory sticks from the old computer into the new computer might somehow damage the new computer. Is this a possibility? Is there another possible danger in doing this swap that I am overlooking?
Thanks in advance
