Compaq issues
« on: February 24, 2007, 10:34:25 AM »
Actually should have titled this puke issues, but figured it would get a strange look of *censored* and then not be read.  It's a long story, but I borrowed someone elses laptop, and accidentally puked on it.  Now the little bugger won't turn on.  Suggestions?  Well apart from fleeing the country

A local repair shop would indeed love this little dilemna...

As Patio said

You have damaged a part of the laptop, or created an electrical connection between one point and another.

Check to see if the laptop has "accidental damage replacement" that complies with such an incident.

Ummmm. I bet it smells bad also.  :o

Sounds like a trip to the shop OR buy them a new laptop, unfortunately.

Um...One question, how come you didn't aim some where else, why on the laptop? Hmm...I wonder what shop will fix a laptop, with puke on it? I know I personally wouldn't want to touch it.

Remove everything removeable (HD, memory, battery) and leave it open and 'ventilating' for the next 24 hours.

Do as much clean up as you can then, put it back together and
fire it up and see what you got.

You have nothing to lose at this time but,24 hrs.

Now I need to see an elephant fly and I'm there. :o

Okay I didn't aim for it, lol my roomie was using it on the livingroom floor during the dreaded incident...I tried not to puke and made the mistake of covering my mouth when I headed to the bathroom, my head just happened to be in her direction when it exploded from my mouth and made the most disgusting indoor rain I think I have unleashed on anyone...yes, accident, total accident

At this point I'm starting to think the repair shop is the way I'm going to have to go...oyiesh

And yes I did clean it all out so it doesn't reek anymore...yay...but still not working...
