After 6 hours of customer service work from HELL yesterday, and a 1 hour drive home in the rain, guess what I had waiting for me at home fellow hive members?
I was NOT a Heineken
I went to my "office" that I have set up in a bedroom on the third floor of my house to install a new program. And on my workbench is my Sager covered in WATER!!!!!
The roof has developed a leak and drenched my lappy, Kensington pocket mouse, mouse pad and power brick. After I stopped crying, I got to work to salvage the damage.
Thank God I had the unit turned OFF and the powerbrick plugged in to recharge it. I am also thankful that the water did not short out the powerbrick and start a fire.
Props go out to JsSnipe for his post on the Sager Tech manuals.
I hit that link from my desktop and used it to tear down my machine. Got water on bottom of fan, subwoofer frame and CPU cooling block. CPU, WLAN and Bluetooth modules were dry. The keyboard took the brunt of the water. I was able to totally tear down the bottom of my lappy and get the water out.
The keyboard is out of my lappy, sitting on the top of my printer drying out. The only thing I didn't tear down was the LCD panel and the bottom of the motherboard. The heatshield under the keyboard kept the water out of the top of the mainboard.
I will install the keyboard this weekend and see what happens.
Wish me well my friends and pray for me.............I will need it.
Just remember this when you think you are having a bad hair day. It can always go downhill.
