cunomar Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Before i screw my laptop back together I'm wondering if i could spry everything with conformal coating to protect against the next spill . Might i kill it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfie Reanimator Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 If the coating is conductive, absolutely. Overheating would also be a major concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madelaine McMasters Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Conformal coatings are designed to protect printed circuit boards from environmental damage, so I wouldn't worry about them being conductive. I use them on electronic devices I keep outside, like the stereo amplifier in my gazebo. The problem I see is keeping the coating away from connectors, PCB ground rings around mounting screw holes, heat transfer surfaces, etc. You mentioned "next spill". What happened during the last one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunomar Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 Can't even remember now , killed my keyboard and wouldn't power on i think but when i seen a full used palmrest it was called with keyboard , touchpad on button etc all still attached at a reasonable price i took a gamble that manufacturers reuse what they can for different models and it fit . It just bugs me that they charge stupid money for the internals then wrap it all in tuppence worth of brittle plastic . If you need any laptop to be lighter in weight then you should be sentenced to wear heavy led handcuffs for a year 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just put cling-film over the keyboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
