While I was working, the two Midlets who live at home

[Midlodemocrat]

spilled an entire cup of coffee on my new laptop. How you ask? Because the asshole that is BoyM can't leave BabyM alone.

I am so angry I am absolutely beside myself. Brand Fucking New. $1500 poof.

I have a call into my computer guy, but he once told me that sugar is just lethal to computers, so I think I'm pretty wewll fucked.

1. If you can take it apart

and flush it out really well with clean water, then let it dry... it might work. That is if it was just coffee and sugar, no milk (no fatty stuff to stick).

Good luck. I'm sure that's aggravating.

3. Coffee with Pumpkin Spice Coffeemate.

I am so fucked. I am hiding out so that I don't kill them.

2. Is it still under warranty?

And can you get some sort of warranty through your credit card?

When my laptop was stolen, IIRC we got a new one through the credit card. :shrug:

4. It must be, it's only 3 months old.

I guess I could contact Dell and ask them what to do.

After I kill the Midlets that is.

5. let it dry... get some rubbing alcohol and some cotton swabs...

alcohol is less likely to damage a computer. dip the swabs in the alcohol and rub between the keys. If you are able, remove the keyboard from the laptop (you can find out how on the internet). Before starting, unplug the laptop and remove the battery. Alcohol dries very quickly.

6. It's your fault though since you should drink your coffee black

Now, apologize to Midlasshole.

[MountainLaurel]

7. Maybe you could sell them to a sweatshop

And get them to earn the money?

:shrug:

8. Jonas Brothers can do a Midlo charity computer concert

:woohoo: :hi: :hug: :hug:

9. Maybe if you weren't on your other computer posting tripe on DU, it wouldn't have

happened.

:hide:

10. That you have not yet killed them shows that you are a better person than I am.

There would've been two deaths in my household. I'll sit over here on the other coast and help you be angry.

11. sorry! My son knows there would be hell to pay if he ever even got a drink

close to my laptop...

:hug:


did you have the warranty of some sort? Maybe they will take pity on you and replace it....

[LeftyMom]

12. Sell them into indentured servitude until they pay for it.

Teh fella could probably use a dog shit scooper/errand boy.

[Fire Walk With Me]

13. They drink coffee?

[Lil Missy]

14. For future reference, I always put skins on mine.
