How f'n stupid can you be?
So, late last night I'm sitting in bed doing some work & goofin' off on the net. Probably more goofin' off than work, but oh well.

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've heard that putting wet/damp electronics in the refrigerator for a few hours works pretty well.

Really, how many times can you use that statement in your life: "My ferret ruined my laptop."

You're not stupid, Plow. You're just slow. Now plug your computer back in and begin reassembling it. The electricity will help to dry it more quickly.

Oh yeah.....check this out.

My fiance had surgery...so she was laid up in bed for a couple of days. I give her my laptop to use so that she doesn't have to get out of bed and go to the office. She tells me last week that the keyboard isn't working on the laptop and the volume buttons are stuck. She won't tell me what happened....but I finally get it out of her that she laid it on the floor before she passed out....and she woke up and found our dog laying on top of the laptop. So now I'm having to pay $70 for a new keyboard....and I hope to god that fixes the problem.

I hope only once. Needless to say I don't leave anything where he can get to it anymore.

Edit... I left my car/work/apartment keys on the coffee table Saturday while I took a nap. I found them under the refrigerator Monday evening.

OK NOW I don't leave anything on the coffee table.

I worked at shop that did toshiba warranty work and remember another tech showing me some things under the hood. There were plastic housings and such that he warned me were irreplaceable becuase you couldn't order them as a part even if you are factory authorized srevice center. The premise being if you break the part its because you didn't know how to disassemble it properly because it is internal.
Little f$%ing landmines like that make them fun to work on....
