Temperature reading is 69,000°C
Temperature reading is 69,000°C
I placed water on an HP envy x360 laptop. After drying, it opened and everything seemed fine. The Windows was running, though it was extremely slow—CPU clock stuck at minimum, fans spinning at 99%. I couldn’t get a battery level reading, and the BIOS displayed a temperature of 69,000°C. I thought these issues were linked to the laptop overheating and possibly catching fire. I replaced the battery, but nothing improved. It seems water may have damaged a part of the motherboard, preventing it from reading battery data. I considered asking the BIOS to ignore the high temperature or use a safe value, but I couldn’t find any guidance online. What should I do? Do you have any suggestions? Edit 1: The device has been completely disassembled, dried, and corrosion removed with alcohol (there was indeed corrosion on the battery connector). I believe I handled the hardware part well except for replacing the motherboard. Now I’m looking into software fixes.
Thank you for the explanation. I see that my battery isn<|pad|>, but my computer still sees it as a normal value.
Were you sure to remove all components and let everything air out? There could still be moisture trapped inside the board.
Earlier mentioned, carefully dismantle the device, allow it to dry completely, then apply isopropyl alcohol to remove any remaining rust.
It has been completely taken apart, dried, and the corrosion was removed using alcohol (there was corrosion on the battery connector). I believe I’ve handled all the hardware except swapping out the motherboard. Now I’m looking for a software fix.
But the sensors are built into the CPU, and since it's a laptop, the CPU might be attached. Have you taken it out?
I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. You should replace the battery if it's damaged, as it could pose a risk.
