My Brother...

Ok, so I will start the story off with the setting, My friend stu and I are playing NCAA football 2005 (im winning) :-) and my bro is at my laptop across the room on AIM. My mom calls him up for dinner, he comes back down with wings and a glass of milk, about a pint i guess? 5 minutes later he gets up and calmly walks into the bathroom, then i hear lots of clicks, one final sharp click, and my laptop shuts down, can you guess what happened? he spilled the entire glass of milk onto my laptop.... HE WILL DIE.... so anyways, i let him try and wipe it off trying not to get too mad, and hes like i think its all better now, hes 14, im thinking hes a moron so i pick up my laptop and turn it over and a good cup or so of milk pours out from between the keys... so right now, id say about 5 hours have passed, we took it apart, spinkled water on it and are letting it dry out, do i have any chance of it working???

Dude was it a good laptop? I would make my brother die if he did it to my laptop!

Dude ive had an old nokia phone a guy dropped it in barrel of oil got it out washed it with soap and water because he thought he couldn't do anymore damage and it worked i used it for a week and it was fine also my RC boat i dropped the remote control in the pool once and the boat woudn't move afterwards but i let it dry and it was fine....

You worst enemy at the moment is rust....

Yes but water does.... and they sprinkled water on it

we washed it down with water and dried it with a hair dryer... it was the newest IBM thinkpad... i dont know the price but after my step dad's discount (IBM executive) it was $1900, it was loaded with a bunch of extra shatizzle.... so to sum it all up, my laptop probably isnt going to work, its been 24 hours and it still wont even turn on, plugging it in doesnt do anything, its almost as if it never worked in the first place.... so my brother is currently $2000 dollars in debt to me if the insurance doesnt replace it, and it should, but im still gonna have to find some way to get him back for this, i lost all of my chops that werent stored online, and i was currently in a battle that i now have to forfeit, so yea, im gunna kill him, just have to figure out how...

Save the hard drive and get another the exact same and switch it over it should work like get a pro to switch the part over where it stores info...

Hey, if you want, send me the laptop and I can fix it. I have a year of computer repair in college under my belt. If you want, I'll pay the shipping, and if I can get it to work, i'll send it back and you can pay for shipping. B)

If you have a warranty that won't laugh at you, let them deal with it. We like to call that an act of god claim.

But if it's ******, don't throw it out. PM me before you throw it out or do anything to harm it. Trust me, i've collected many items and fixed them people thought was broken. I would have had an extra PS2 that I fixed, but the guy was there when I fixed it.

My cousin threw out a xbox that I could have fixed, I about slapped him.

cool, i will see if the warranty people will take care of it... haha i doubt it, if not, i will mail it to you omi, and pay for shipping both ways ;-)
