As I go to bed, I set my laptop on the floor because nothing bad can happen in the middle of the night. At 4am, I wake up just enough to realize i'm moving rolling over. As I roll over, I - for some ****ing reason - decide to reach one arm out toward the wall. As my arm extends, I hear the distinct sound of a glass being knocked over and water pouring on the floor. I immediately popped up out of bed, grabbed my laptop seeing only a little bit of water on the screen.

So I'm thinking "Man, that was lucky." As I disconnect the power cable, the computer just shuts off in a blink of an eye followed promptly by me yelling "****" waking up half the house. As I run to the bathroom to get a towel, I turn it on it's side and a couple ounces of water pour from the side.

So, I've just spent the last hour & half pulling every ****ing piece of hardware that you can imagine and like 20-30 tiny ass screws out of it to open the damn thing up.

Luckily, I didn't find any water on the motherboard and very little actually inside the computer. I did find some water around the battery and I also found a little bit inside, but very very little for what I thought.

I've got the damn thing pulled apart drying out as we speak. Any other suggestions?

So, how f'n stupid can you be? I think the answer is "This stupid."



PS....

Whoever decided to make opening a laptop needed to be like opening a bank vault should die in a raging fire.

I had a sony Vaio a couple years back and it got wet while charging and burned it up, never has worked since, won't come on or nothing. I talked to the IP guy at work and he said it was more than likely fried and couldnt do anything to help me out.. oh well, I hope you have better luck than I did.
