A couple of days ago some water got inside my Titanium PowerBook G4 (1GHz). When I got home it refused to wake from sleep, but after a couple of hours of drying it booted ok, only everything was running at half pace and Virtual PC refused to boot Windows properly. Then after a couple more days it refused to wake up again, but removing the battery for a couple of seconds fixed it and the speed issue, and VPC would run again.
Then today arrived the Security Upgrade and I rebooted the 'book for the first time since then, and everything is back to being slow. Virtual PC won't boot, the dock is stuttering, and top is reporting 14% total CPU usage for Activity Monitor. I tried resetting the Power Manager and the nvram, but other than resetting my clock this doesn't seem to do a thing. It's also running extremely hot on outlet power. Anyone have any ideas of how to fix this, without sending it in for repair?

Have you checked your RAM? Do you have a spare stick, which didn't get flooded, you can swap in?
Other than that I don't know what you could do apart from sending it in, but that could be expensive.
Any other ideas?

I tried both sticks seperately but the problem remains. And it didn't exactly get flooded... I didn't even know there was water inside until I got home and it refused to boot. I opened it up and there were some trails of water on the bottom plate, but nothing to be seen near the electronics.

try using a dehumidifier for some hours (not a hair drier!), hopefully, it will take all the humidity still there...

Even so, I suppose the water may have ruined something

I'm pretty sure the water's gone by now. It's been over two weeks, and I couldn't find any traces when I opened it up yesterday. I'm prepping it to send it in for repair tomorrow.
