deyholla Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I had just bought a new laptop so I would be able to play FM 09 because my old comp is quite slow and wouldn't be able to handle 3d. Yesterday I was sipping a beer surfing the web when my dog knocked the beer out of my hand and on to my laptop killing it. So now I have no computer and just canceled my FM 09 pre-order. I'm crushed... I hope you all enjoy FM 09! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clampos Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 take it to a comp shop. Not sure about beer but my wife spilt water all over my desktop and for £80 they were able to clean it all up. Its worth a try. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalglish Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Have a go at cleaning it up and take it back to the shop. Unscented wetwipes should remove the stickiness and the ale smell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pelicanstuff Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Another thing you can do is to take all sensitive components (hard drive, memory, screen, optical drive) out, wash the the rest of the machine well in cold filtered water and leave to dry for a couple of days. It should be fine unless beer got in the hard drive, in which case you need a new one of those - they really don't like liquid. Whatever you do, don't turn the thing on till it's clean and dry.

Andy Clarke Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 You've got a good chance it will be OK providing you haven't spilt anything with lots of sugar over it. Turn it upside down and leave it to dry thoroughly for a couple of days and then fire it on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
