[ltp] Spilled Water on R32

[James Ryan]

Hi,

I recently spilled a full glass of water on my running R32 (sigh).  It
instantly switched off, and I could hear the water boiling as it hit the
CPU...there was actually steam coming from my keyboard.  Since then, I
only use travel mugs with lids near my PCs...

Anyway, after taking it apart and drying everything out, then putting it
back together, I only have two problems:

1. DVD/CD in ultrabay is not recognized...this problem was intermittent
at first (after the water incident) but now it never recognizes it.  I
don't mind, since I have a new 42p, so I just SMBShare the DVD on that. 
Incidentally, the DVD/CD drive works in other thinkpads, so it's
probably a problem with the controller or the ultrabay.

2. Cannot run on battery power.  Well, I rarely take it out anywhere,
since I'm using it more as a file server/firewall, but it is annoying. 
Has anyone ever repaired/replaced the battery charger unit on the R32? 
Is it a separate unit?

Any help would be appreciated...
