Yeah, I'm the only tech left. That new guy last week did stop showing up, and yesterday someone else quit. This is a small local business so I'm left here to be the tech.
I finished all my work so damn quick on friday that I've been keeping up with everything and having plenty of free time to sit around and browse the internet. I'm only needed to hold down the fort and do the technical questions shit.
So I just had this laptop in, and apparently this guy had his 2-year-old in his lap, when the kid pukes all over the keyboard.
Sticky keys, and a horrible screech when the PC is turned on. "Umm, it needs a new mainboard," says I. "You're under warranty 'till the 29th, but I'm not sure vomit is covered under the warranty," I say, letting out a chuckle.
This is one of the more interesting ones I've gotten in the past few months.
At least he had the decency to clean it up a bit and let it dry for two days. If he took out the battery when it happened, it might actually still work (besides the sticky keys)
Just thought I'de share this amazing story with all you pubbers.

I had something very similar happen to me once, when I was a tech. This guy comes in and has a laptop and says (in german so my grandmother was translating) that he needs it clean to work... we open it and he had dropped a cup of coffe on the keyboard and screen 
Have you ever seen what happens to an LDC screen when boiling hot coffe gets into it? It will never work again. So we opened it to clean what we could and that's the only time I've seen a laptop open... amazing technology in there!
But we couldn't get the screen fixed so to germany it went again 
Anyway, just relating to what you've just been thru.

My laptop has become a desktop due to me being a drunken retard and spilling beer all over the keyboard. I shut it off right away and removed the battery...I took the sucker apart and removed the keyboard in hoping I could fix it, but it seems something related to the keyboard hardware is fucked. Everything else works though so it resulted in this ghetto fabulous rig!
