I attempted to ruin another expensive possession at work today. While working, I accidentally knocked a bottle of water over and some spilled into my laptop. At first I thought the water was confined to the keyboard; I mopped up the water I saw then continued to work.
A few minutes later, the computer froze. I pulled up the keyboard and saw that water had seeped underneath the keyboard. I hit the power and set the laptop so that my test computers would blow hot air into the laptop. After a couple hours, I tried it to boot the computer. The laptop booted to the login screen, I logged in, and then the kernel panicked. I tried to reboot; the power button didn't respond.
Uh oh.
I came home and aimed a fan at that laptop guts under the keyboard and waited. A few hours ago I picked it up, inserted the battery, and tried the power button again. Everything seems fine now. Whew.
Fucking hell. |
