Have you ever ruined your computer?

i've spilled my drink over my laptop twice and nothing happened

Why are people so stupid they think Windows = computer

I've seen people throw away computers because they trashed a Windows install

They don't actually know you can just install Linux or reinstall Windows They think the OS is the computer...

Anyone else used to eat nesquick mix straight from the container? I used to do it as a kid. I'd grab a spoon and go to town on it.

One day my laptop screen, not sure how, but I think maybe my cat jumped on it. Ever since I never close it when I'm at home to prevent this asshole from jumping again

Best way to make protein milk taste like not shit.

my first laptop met its fate at the hands of a spilled beer
ever since then I've treated all my electronics with love and care, which only makes it so much harder to let go of them when they inevitably become obsolete but are still in perfect working condition

Somehow my laptop hinge tightened itself so much that it snapped off the frame from the inside. but i fixed it pretty good myself. except now the display shuts off randomly

Jesus christ, what ABOMINATION are you?

Spilled a massive glass of milk on my laptop the day before a new class came out on Maplestory many many years ago.
Broke my arrow keys so I had to improvise and use the numpad.

That's why I mix my drinks in my mouth instead. Since I'm already an alcoholic pig I can just go all the way. But hey, no keyboards ruined so far.

lmao yeah right look at all these manbabies drinking things they like and not alcohol 24/7

I hate when this happens, bros

Wait so if I were to sit in a tub of milk and drop a toaster that was plugged in, the electricity wouldn't flow through the milk and electrocute me?

um it was a joke

Spilled rum & coke on a laptop keyboard once. Pissed as I was, I just shitposted about it until it shorted out

Kek now this is a dedicated shitposter

Yep I chucked my old laptop in a river cause I had one of those fake fbi sites pop up saying they were tracking me, I was young and had been browsing a few extreme porn sites and got shit scared, true story

I always just take shots of rum and chase it with coke, I never mix

I don't think I've ever gotten close to spilling it on my keyboard

I think it's technically possible but you'd need some special very pure milk

Back when I cleaned my first PC as a 10 or 11yo kid, there was so much awful grey goo around the processor, I made sure to polish it nicely.
Yep, thermal paste.

Its a macbook, it will.
Humidity and dust can kill them because they are built to break down on their own.

>very pure milk
I mean you can say the same for water.

can't wait to actually have a PC filled with liquid (as in every components in them, while running)

they're already considering that for CPUs when farming bitcoins

That's not even a computer, its an ASUS Chromebook.
Literally only useful for moderate shitposting and windowing into an actual machine to do useful shit.

You're a fucking newfag but I do identify with what you say a bit. Once I realized that files are near-completely recoverable even in the case of a Windows-crash, it changed my life desu

Fuck off back to /g/ with your Reddit spacing.
Though you're right, it is a common mistake

how fat are you?

I placed a bag of ice cubes on top of my GPU.
Everything still worked when dried.

IIRC the salt from sweat and shit on your body will diffuse into the liquid and just conduct the electricity anyways and kill you.

My gf dumped Mac and cheese on her brand new gaming laptop that I blew 1400$ on like a week after she got it. Luckily a it needed to go to a repair shop because of an issue with the hard drive and they got in there and cleaned it.

Of course she doesn't use the laptop except for occasionally the Sims which pisses me off more than you can imagine.

I've heard that you can slowly submerge a MOBO into aloe while its running hot to cool it.

Its more like a refridgerated plastic cannister but yeah

Yes but after how long? Weak electrolytes shouldn’t be conductive enough to kill you in such a huge volume of pure milk—which might actually be an electrolyte.

I spilled chocolate milk on my laptop the day I turned 21. Went to liquor store to forget my sorrows.

Not personally but a friend of mine hadn't cleaned his computer in the 7 fucking years he had it
I went over and opened it up with him and genuinely felt sick, it was covered in a brown tar from what i guess was tobacco or weed and i'm surprised as all hell he didn't die from a fire
After that he just got a new computer but i don't know if he cleans that either. They never learn...

I've been in quite a few dangerous situations in my life, mostly while hiking, climbing and cycling.
But the closest I've ever been to death was probably when I choked on Nesquick powder. Now I always put it in milk.

When I was a kid and didn't have a computer of my own I wrecked my dad's laptop by spilling water all over it. I felt super guilty, but he took it pretty well all things considered.

While trying to pull the power supply connector out of my motherboard my grandpa and I bent the motherboard in half like a taco. It and the power supply both died when we tried to turn it back on. CoolerMaster took 70+ days to send me a new power supply despite it being under warranty.

Easier cord management when it inevitably has to be serviced as well, fuck crawling around under the desk desu

>needing chasers

No but I'm probably ruining one right now. I built my current rig like a year ago and haven't dusted the insides ONCE.
I occasionally wipe the case with a tissue maybe once a fortnight but actually taking it apart and dusting the fans and stuff? Yet to do it.
I also leave my computer running 24/7 pretty much most of the time. And for a while it was also on my floor on the carpet.

Am I damaging my computer or am I fine and should just maybe dust it once in a blue moon?

It blew up. No exaggeration, it popped right the bloody fuck open.

No. You can't really ruin a computer. Everything is easily replaceable that is, if you don't buy iShit. Not to mention that's a software problem anyway 9 out of 10 times. The worst thing which happened to me was a busted PSU.

When I was upgrading ram I mistakingly thought I had fried the old ram so I ended up buying more than I needed, turns out I just didn't push some of it back in hard enough.

I have destroyed a couple laptop screens in my life though, As well as more minor damage to multiple phones.

I bent prongs on my motherboard once trying to build it and then used a screw driver to try and bend them back
I turned the computer off but there was some residual power or some bullshit and it fried it

also I've spilled rum and coke on my laptop so the keyboard doesn't work anymore but everything else is fine

I broke a fan on my gpu once and had to replace the heatsink fan thingy

Now that I think about it, I don't know why or how by parents kept getting me laptops, we really couldn't afford it.

I'm really worried about my laptop, because whenever I start to close it, half the screen gets covered in vertical lines for like a second and then it's all fine.

Granted it's not its intended use but I've always done it like that when I forgot to buy milk and never choked on it.

My cat once knocked a glass of water into my computer that was on the floor next to the table. The whole computer seized up and I immediately pulled the plug. I opened the case and cleaned the inside of my computer case with a towel and hair dryer and let it dry off for a day.

The next day I plugged my comp back in, said a prayer and turned it on. It worked.

I've had two laptops be destroyed in basically the same way, tripping over the charging cable and putting my fucking knee through them. Broke the screen on one, the housing and motherboard on the other. This was forever ago, though.
I also opened up an old prebuilt that had some weird transparent bugs inside it, most of them were dead but it looked like one escaped. I think they lived entire life cycles in there.

Watch a few youtube videos, buy old used shit for pocket change so you won't feel bad when something goes wrong, mimic what you saw in those youtube videos.

Imagine calling someone a lonely loser because they haven't eaten pure nesquik powder. I don't even want to imagine the kind of person that would do this.

I spilled a whole bottle of beer on my Macbook Pro. I was quick to hard shut it down and turn int upside down. Glad it started working again but the row A to L on the keyboard stopped working.
So I connected a usb keyboard to it because Apple wanted $700 to fix it. a couple of years later I accidentally stumbled on a shop run by college kids. They fixed my keyboard for $50 and I couldn't be happier.
Looking back. I'm glad the logic board wasn't friend when I spilled the beer.

It's novec 7000, it's got a boiling point of 61degC so the components stay within that range. Pretty neat but the Novec requires certain licensure in certain jurisdictions and you'd slowly but surely lose it. On top of that it degrades into toxic chemicals.

Do they have a minifridge with milk jugs next to their laptop and just mix it right there? Imagine how fat you would have to be to do something like that.

It's passive cooling. The rate of heat transfer of the fluid is much higher than than that of air. The surface area of the fluid to outside air is also much higher than the surface area of the component to air, if there was no fluid at all.

It uses phase changes which rapidly remove energy from systems. They change it to a vapor state which rapidly removes thermal energy from the processor, then once it reaches the top of the case a condenser cools it back down and removes the heat from the system. The trick is rapidly removing the heat.

How did you do that?

Like when people programmed features to CPU frequency so shit would move faster or slower depending on clocks?

It's a multivariate transformation. The modern experience is so heavily commercialized you'd be hard fought to draw honest to god parallels between what we had and what we have. Geocities, a work of passion against Wordpress or Fecesbook. Google the frontpage of the internet as compared to Google "Do no evil!" Wikipedia's humbly written and clearly vandalized pages contrasted by today's whitewashed articles written by hyperautists being made virtually unreadable in some cases without a doctorate.

More uniform and less transparent with the chains that tie actual people together being increasingly corroded by the whims of the market to ensure nobody is alienated so they can launch to the largest demographics.

Then there's the massive population increase. Traffic has been dramatically increased since the days of the flip phone. Virtually everyone even the filthy poor has a smartphone with a decent internet connection. This is as opposed to 10-15 years ago when you could still fill out a paper application at a business and interview there, where you still brought in typed copies of your essay instead of dropping it into a dropbox remotely. Rarefied niches become overrun and rampant with mob mentality either destroying diverse communities or homogenizing them.

Of course the aesthetic changes are equally noteworthy, same-ity of flat design plastering every page of the internet, many pages losing their identity with it, again for the sake of demographics and easy of use UX.

just get a hand vacuum nigga

I spilt a can of coke on my mechanical keyboard. Still works amazingly, but some keys are sticky. Ppl online say to blow into it after you take the keycap off, and it does work....for like an hour.

Spilt the beer on my desk, and it dripped down into the grates on top of the case (empty fan slots) and pooled on the graphics card.

What you should do that most likely will work is to properly soak it in warm water and let it dry completely. As you already know the mechanisms aren't necessarily destroyed by water, but the sugar is the problem. If you can dilute it and get it out it will be as good as new. Or something important will corrode and it will brake entirely. I had a similar situation and after failing to convince myself that I could live with sticky keys I just bought a new one. With nothing to lose I cleaned it as I described and voila. Now it's ready for whenever this one breaks.

The fishtank PC fad was ten years ago senpai

Turns out having to disassemble your PC and hang it out to dry for a week every time you want to change components is a pain in the ass, nevermind the weight of the thing.

Why don't they just make vacuum case so you don't have to deal with the hot air at all?

don't do it

Vacuums create static electricity and will fry the mobo.

my computer is full of yaoi so uhhh yeah

Because a good intake / exhaust fan setup works better without sounding like a jet engine.

do it.

That's gay

I wouldn't say ruined, but it became hard to see anything or type anything from all the cum

You don't get it. Just make the case air tight and when you've put the shit in, you close it up and use a compressor to suck out all the air. You only have to do it once until you break the seal which you'd only do when you need to work inside the case.

Components still hot, now with nothing to dissipate into

Exactly. No hot air(or liquid) and therefore no reason to vent.

No. I treat my electronics well. Don't have money to replace it.

Spilled Nestea into the holes in the tower once by accident

Componentes now baked ded congrats

About 10 years ago, had a seizure while at my computer, knocked over a glass of soda right off the desk and into the tower. Surge protector turned itself off and the computer, but the damage had already been done.

I gotta say this was one of the more bizarre interactions I've seen on here.

My sister bought herself a laptop, after a couple of weeks she spewed cola all over it, then she never took it to repair so the guarantee was voided.
She's still paying for it.

Dust in your PC makes it run hotter and you will have thermal throttling, especially with buildup inside of fans and radiator fins.

A clean PC is a happy PC.

The microprocessor will register that the read/ write arm is in the wrong position.

I'm probably shorting my mobo on a regular basis because I just slapped it into a very old case without bothering to re-configure the stand offs for an mATX mobo. It always resets the bios whenever I work inside the case. It's a cheap pre-Ryzen AMD build so I don't really give a fuck. Maybe I'll stop kvetching and buy something new once that shit finally breaks.

Also heat will not dissipate in a vacuum. The parts would melt.

at this point you might want to shovel out the mountain of moldy dust before you start using compressed air

Finally got an exp group in XI after waiting for 2 hours in Jeuno. About 1.5 hours in I spilled water on my laptop. Least I had my consoles for several months while I saved for a new one

I was unbelievably fucked up on DUDE and was so unaware of my surroundings I knocked my bong over, spilled right inside my pc followed by BRRRRRRRRRT. Turned it off so fast, still works

Is that an innuendo for cum

RIP fan bearings, anyway this is why buying a Datavac is worth it.

It's unpractical for home PCs but it's being used for large computing clusters. The energy savings can outweigh the disadvantages.

Jerked off on a laptop screen once. I tried to clean it with a magic eraser and ruined it.

I blew out my fan while multiboxing 15 trial accounts on WoW and flooding the local area with emotes. Ended up having mommy buy me a new gaming PC cause I had saved up so many good boy points.

>Forcing your mother to go into homeboy town every weekend because you made a bad decision

She bought a laptop on a payment plan? What the fuck dude. Literally what is wrong with people. The only acceptable thing to buy on payments is a house, and that’s only because our wage/housing has been screwed over by whoever the past 50 years or so. My grandpa saved up enough for a house with a damn paper route as a kid/teenager. Anyway, point is if you are making payments for literally anything besides a house you are doing it wrong.

Shut the fuck up you stupid fucking retard.

I bricked an old laptop HDD way back when I didn't know how video drivers worked and just installed random conflicting ones. It at least taught me the value of caution and triple-checking every installation that isn't some normie-application from then onwards.

I bought an Apple refurbished Macbook Air because I've always wanted one.

One day it started making crackling noises and I couldn't figure it out so I turned it off. Didnt turn back on.

Got online somebody said to unscrew the back unplug battery wait while and hold power for 10 seconds. Came back on.

Did the smart thing and backed up my shit and factory reset in case I would need it repaired.

Does the fizzy pop again a week later but it smelled like something was burning. Never got it back on.

Apple said it would be $500 + tax + ship + tip to fix.

I didnt.

You just outted yourself as Reddit

One time I was re-doing the cable management on my PC and I somehow managed to get my SATA power cable plugged into the PCI-E power slot on my modular PSU. It fried 2 hard drives and an SSD. But it was still usable.

I also forgot to install motherboard standoffs once when doing a new build and fried the motherboard. Luckily nothing else was broken.

I have since stopped being a fucking retard and haven't broken anything.

this guy fractures

Almost. When I bought a new case I put my CPU fans in backwards and my PSU upside down so it was just circulating hot air inside.
It was like that for well over a year before I even realized and I tend to clean it out every 3-6 months.

Here, have this (you)

Deserved it

If youre still here. Its probably screen connector not connecting properly with mainboard
