Coffee and Laptops

[AMLinington]

We've lost a laptop to being wee-ed on (srs.)

 

...Go back to your drinks/lunch.

 

Doesn't count if it was a pet or potty training child ;P

I have worked in my school for 6 years now and until last week had, suprisingly, never had a staff laptop with coffee spilled on it. Now we have had 2, one totally dead and one that we left to dry and actually still works, all be it smelling of tesco's finest roast!

 

How common is this? Do we just had a particularly clumsy set of staff this year?

 

 

Also, I post safe in the knowledge the worst thing I have ever done was spill a pot noodle onto a desktop keyboard, which still works today!!!!

 

I have had a student bring me their laptop that had a drink spilt on it but instead of bringing it straight to me she had tried to sort the problem herself. After asking her why the entire one side of the keyboard had melted together she then admitted she had used a hairdryer to try and cure the problem which had melted all the keys on one side!
