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.

Not sure how this works. Explain, please. Or if it was a joke, I didn't catch it.

And speaking of refrigerators, that is what frazod was referring to. There is a thread in the archives somewhere about him waking up to a noise in the house and shooting his fridge.

Dunno so much about the refrig, but in a freezer, the frost free function sucks all the moisture out of the compartment. That's why exposed meat gets 'freezer burn' which is actually freezer dehydration. In a freezer, you run the risk of the droplets freezing before being pulled from the part. Maybe the refrig thing is the crisper, which also pulls moisture from the air in it.

RE: the topic. My BT headset didn't quite survive a trip through the wash. D@mned baggy cargo shorts.

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

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.
