I thought id share a little secret that i use when im out chasing storms to help protect my laptop from water damage. Sometimes, when im out on a big storm. I have to get out of my vehicle, or roll down the window just to take a picture. This happened on 12/9/08 and i lost a $500 dell machine because it got covered in water. When i opened the door, rain water just flew in the door, covered the computer and went beneath the keys which ruint the computer.
After that costly mistake, i started thinking of ways i could prevent it from happening again. One night, i was laying in my bed ready to go to sleep and the idea came to me. If i wrapped my laptop in plastic wrap, maybe i could type and use the computer, while at the same time protect it from harmful influences. So, i took a section of plastic wrap, wrapped it around the computer and i was very pleased with the results.
You can type with ease, it doesnt mash the keys together. On top of that, you can even use the mouse-pad without a hitch. I used this same very technique a few days ago with alot of success. This time, when i got out of my truck. All the rain just beaded up on top of the wrap, which when pulled off left a bone dry machine beneath it.![Cool :cool: :cool:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Just figured id share that solution if anyones had a similar problem. If i did this last year i wouldent have had to buy a brand new computer.
