Milkshake + a Laptop = Disaster

Well, I can say bye bye to my laptop. The other day I spilt milkshake all over my laptop, and it's pretty much [:-censored]ed. I opened it up, tried to clean everything out, used a hover, paper towels, cue tips, but it just doesn't start up.

I'm gonna call Dell tomorrow and see how much it's gonna cost to fix it, unless I can come up with some feasible story and get them to fix it for free, which I doubt. I'm just hoping my Hard drive hasn't been damaged, all my stuff, work, music, everything is on it...

Yep, I think you can pretty much say Pwnd.

If you're implying what I think you are, then you've got a dirty mind! :P

..Well, I do have a 3 year on site warranty in case something becomes faulty, but I don't think I'm covered for accidents..

Well a killed Mainboard (or whatever is broken) does not mean that the HDD is [:-censored]ed so you can still hope your data can be recovered. Don't you think?

I think hd doesnt damage such easily, but the motherboard might be damaged due its electronical components without cover..

electronic components are pretty sensible for liquid (milkshake is almost)

Maybe they will fix it for free because you give them a good laugh wit hyour story [:D]

Just tell them that some retarted denny's/perkin's ( or some other 24 hour resteraunt )server spilled the milkshake all over your laptop, Plausable Deniability, and hopefully, a free fix.....

open it and clean with alcohol

Kazuki

Alcohol? I can't tell if Palloco is being sarcastic or serious. <_< This isn't first aid, man.

Hitman

Well, I called them up and they are gonna send a new AC adopter, because it doesn't start up, and they think that, that might be the problem, assuming the battery is dead. I haven't told them about the milkshake, and they said that if that doesn't work they'll send out an engineer to rebuild the whole thing. If that doesn't work, they'll just replace the Laptop, and it's all for free, as long as they don't discover the real cause of the problem ;)

I've pretty much cleaned that thing out, and there's, I hope, no trace of milkshake, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

I am serious, alcohol 96% is one the best solvents you can find at home, and it does not harm electronic circuits

Get into the pharmacy and buy Isopropylalcohol (called like that in germany) they sell it freely cuz you can't drink it (at least i wouldn't recommend that to you).

palloco

Pharmacy alcohol has more ethilic alcohol than isopropylalcohol

unless your friend mixed it with something, or you are lying, your friend would be in the hospital now with a hole in his stomach.
back in south america, the hobos used to drink pharmacy alcohol mixed with some water and lemon juice :|

they do it over here aswell... with metholated spirits...(the purple stuff)

stupid hobos think that by filtering it through bread they somehow manage to get regular alcohol..all they do is get rid of the purple coloration and their brain cells aswell
