>I was wondering if anyone on the list might know a good place to get a
(hopefully) used S4/S6 computer in good condition.  My history has been
expensive.  Have been rebuilding an S4 that I'm now driving, original
computer got wet, sent it to Ned for parts.  Obtained a new computer
through local shop, good price.  He put it in with rug, WET!  Now second
computer bad and need third and final computer.  Hope someone can help me
out, I'm broke!  Thanks for any help advice...

I am a little surprised that the S4 ECU was destroyed (Twice) by getting
some water/moisture inside the unit. It may have stopped working, but you
may be able to salvage the ECU you have or the one you sent to Ned, by
having it taken apart and have any water deposits and or crud cleaned off
the circuit boards inside. I can take a look inside the ECU if you need
help with this. 

Was the interior of the car full of water, to the point where the ECU and
connector were under water? You may be able to just dry out the ECU
connector and then have the ECU cleaned out inside to get the car back
running again.
