I accidentally dropped a sprite on my computer, and it immediately turned off. After unplugging everything and carefully taking it apart, I used a hair dryer on warm air. Here are some suggestions to help fix it: consider checking connections, restarting the device, and ensuring all cables are securely attached. If the issue persists, you might want to consult a professional technician. Thank you for your helpful advice!

It would have stopped immediately, suggesting it either protected itself or failed completely. It might involve several components. Hopefully, it can be fixed. Clean it up.

Thanks for waiting! It seems likely it's gone, but we'll find out.

Well if it triggered the PSU saftey before the board got any short, it might boot up. 50% chance atm.

If you haven't done it yet, also extract the battery from the board.

The best choice is the kind of alcohol you feel comfortable using. As long as it dries completely, wiped down with a cloth, and cleaned thoroughly, it should work. However, some areas may not respond well.
