My girlfriend bumped my elbow and I spilled tea on my Macbook.

[QUOTE="The_Gaming_Baby"]It's just a macbook, get a laptop and save yourself some money.

Not necessarily, you still have to pair it with Apples hardware or as close as you can and still hope someone has a custom kext file or plist file out that will make it work. Especially with LAN or WAN adapters you almost have to buy the same thing that the Macs come with or else you are pretty much SOL.

I would feel bad if I did that to someone. Just move on and get a new macbook, no big deal.

She secretly wants you to be a PC owner.

Sucks, now you'll have to get a real computer :(

Send it back to Apple and get a good computer.[spoiler] :P [/spoiler]

Make passionate love to her....that'll end your stress.

Giggitty Giggitty Giggitty...!

Save up and buy a cheap laptop.

its your fault for getting an apple. try thanking her :P

wreck her

Try opening it up and drying everything off.

Most likely it's already fried if it was on when you spilled your drink on it.

well unfortunatley the first thing you should have done was power off, then take battery out, then as with any electronic in you future uses this happens to, put it in a box or something of white rice fully submerged. Leave it in there for 3 days same with battery. The rice will absorb the water or tea or soda. But if you drop soda on it you have other problems like sugar that may complicate things. This happened to my cellphone and the rice trick worked perfectly. ALWAYS TURN OFF after any liquid gets on an electronic. This is the most important aspect as this could make or break the item at hand.

This is an example of PC fans keep trashing apple products. You have no other options, kill her! :twisted::P

in the butt

new computer.

Never have beverages that close to expensive electronics!

But then again, I only learned this from doing the exact same thing.

It is as much your fault, if not more, than it is your girlfriends.

I don't want to give you false hope, but my brother thought he'd killed his mobile phone when he dropped it into a pint of beer. It was only after a week sat on the radiator that functionality even started to return. My own mobile was rescued from a toilet last week and was back to nearly normal after an hour with a hairdryer pointed directly into its guts. For an item the size and complexity of a laptop, I'd expect a much longer drying time than a few days on a radiator.jimmyjammer69

I hope the toilet was clean

Pour more tea on it. Tea fixes everything.

Only good thing about Apple, great customer service. If you got a warrenty on the thing, go into your local apple store and get that thing replaced. I heard they replace it on-the-spot. It's just an electronic, nothing to get upset about. Unless it was a TV, then that ***** should pay! :P

Damn, thank god i don't have a Mac. anyways don't take it on your girl, she didn't do it purposely.

Sitting in a coffee shop with a Macbook drinking tea. You, TC, fit the Apple stereotype perfectly. :P

Thats what you get for drinking tea

[QUOTE="XilePrincess"]I don't know why you'd expect her to buy you a new one, it was an accident.YouAmStupid

[QUOTE="_BlueDuck_"]

I call erroneous on all accounts. How are you on the computer now if your computer is broken? HMM?

Also, seeing as computers' main functions are to provide people with copious amounts of pornography, if you have a girlfriend you don't need a computer, so there's that.

YouAmStupid

Well you could make your GF help pay off the computer. Like half or less, nothing to big. That's what i would have done.

Maybe it is a sign that you need to ditch overpriced macs and buy a Windows laptop?SF_KiLLaMaN

You know, my arm was half way round the U bend before the thought even crossed my mind that I'd better be careful what I grab for. It was actually just as I'd flushed that I knocked the phone straight into the bowl, and the back of the case and battery would almost certainly have been agoner if it hadn't been for my lightning reactions and fearlessness in the face of questionable hygeine. I wouldn't call myself a hero, because at the end of the day, I did what any of us would have done in the same situation.

jimmyjammer69

You wouldn't have said the same thing if it is a toilet in China...
