So there I was with my laptop in about 15 pieces scattered about. I had been trying to fix the floppy/CD drives, since it's really pretty useless without them. (No way to get data in or out, besides downloading from free AOL dialup or printing, or I could record and play back a WAV file.  ) The CD drive seemed to just have a motor problem, so I figured I could probably fix it if I just started up DOS/windows and tried some stuff until it worked. So I turned it on with the hard disk removed, hoping that I could get into DOS from the BIOS alone. (Hey, it has a Win3.1-style interface, why not?  ) It wouldn't do it though, just typical 'no operating system, try again, you fail' stuff. So I figured I'd have to actually put the HD back in. Of course, it'd probably be best to shut it off first. I hit the power button... nothing happens. I hit it a few more times, the light blinks but the system keeps running. So I yanked out the AC cord. (The battery was still inside.) I figured that might do it. It's always had problems running on AC. As soon as I did that, the screen started tripping out and going nuts. Pfft, typical 15-year-old laptop.That's when I noticed the smoke.  After a bit of brief panicking, I ripped the battery out. That stopped it. I couldn't find any evidence of damage, strangely enough. I haven't tried it since then. I just hope the screen and IR port survived, they were like the only useful parts. (Well that and the hard disk, but it wasn't connected.)So now I have a box full of laptop parts and an HD with files I want on it and nothing to read it with. It looks like a standard IDE drive (but smaller), except there's no power connector.  It would sit in this little holder which adapted the plug to a smaller one... Weird.So yeah, that was fun.  |

This one time, I was haphazardly assembling a computer out of some old bullshit. When I turned it on the power supply caught on fire. It sucked. I died.  |

| Zem: yeah when I was buliding my new comp I bought a power supply for like 40 bucks or something, but it wasn't working for whatever reason so I flipped a switch and low and behold it smoked like a mother. I somehow managed to air it out enough so that I could return it without them thinking I did anything to it. | |||

Originally posted by |+Legion+|I used to do that to CDs. Seriously put a CD in the microwave and wait for it to spark, then immediately turn it off. It's coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool. |
