Neatly Sliced

Last night, after having taken a sip of water from my 1-liter SIGG water bottle, I spilled about half of my almost full container on my bed, on which also rested my laptop. I’m not sure how much water was absorbed by my sheets and how much by my computer, but there was enough in the computer that when I went to shut it down, it started thinking forever until I held down the power button, although at this point my screen had already gone black. Putting my ear up to my sad sad machine, I could hear the sizzling of water inside. Oh noes.

I removed my laptop’s battery and tilted my computer at an angle to the sight of water dripping out the crevices.

It is now sadly sitting at home on its side, open, and in front of a fan, where my brother tells me it needs to stay for the following 7 days if I want to maintain any morsel of hope of recovery.

I am quite forlorn. I have never experienced such laptop calamity before; I was hoping some or any of you would have a laptop tale to share that ended with hope and not tears. I’m not sure my laptop has any hope, but any at all would be nice.

PS: Do you think this is covered by AppleCare? I’m still under my 3 years…
