Liquid laptop damage
Filed Under Stupid | Leave a Comment
Why do people think it's okay to turn on a laptop immediately after dousing it with a full glass of some liquid? We've seen wine, Gatorade®, water, tea, and coffee. They always try to turn the laptop (back) on while it's still wet. Why not at least let it dry for a few days, or bring it to a shop where it can be disassembled and cleaned? Once you turn it on right after spilling something on it, it's all downhill from there. After turning it on and letting all of the blue smoke out of the chips, they decide to bring it in and are befuddled as to why we are not able to repair the motherboard.
Pro-tip: leave it the fuck alone.

I don't know why, but I'm getting flooded with this question all of the sudden. Is someone spreading unfounded rumors high up in the chain? I'm tired of being the bad guy for letting them use my free product. Guess what? If I continue to get harassed, I'm going to request that it be removed from the MRI. I don't need to be attacked for something that didn't even happen.
Anyway, Geek Squad/Best Buy did not pay me a fee to use Dial-a-fix.
Look on my wiki:
Dial-a-fix is 100% freeware to use and redistribute, as long as the file is unmodified [...md5 stuff...] and as long as no money is being charged for access to the file. [...misc stuff...] It is completely free for personal or corporate use, however, under no circumstances will I take any responsibility for your use or inability to use Dial-a-fix, and its results (or lack thereof).
Dial-a-fix will always be free to use.
Period.
It's free, even if you are Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Satan, Jesus, Buddha, Homer Simpson, or Geek Squad.
