Laptop Tips And Repair , Company Reveals Top-8 Liquid Spills That Kill Your Laptop Computers

Liquid spills on laptop computers Acer aspire one a110 battery generated some 60%

of repairs sent to MicroReplay in 2009, according to company CEO Joe Kouyoumjian: On any given morning, 20 to 30 broken laptop computers arrive at MicroReplay, needing to have various liquids extracted from their lifeless corpses. Many shiny new, Black Friday purchased computers are sure to meet one of these liquids.

The average cost to fix a dead-on-arrival laptop computer from a liquid spill? About $600. And while liquid spills represent fully 60% of laptop computer repairs, these Top-10 liquid-culprits may surprise you.

8.Hard liquor (2% of spills).

Hard liquor runs the gamut from pure ethyl alcohol (Grey Goose or Kettle One vodka) to syrupy, sugary goodness (brandy, White Russians, Pina Coladas, and other drinks served with an umbrella). The more sugar in the drink, the worse the corrosion that occurs to laptops internal parts. The sugar, usually sucrose, dries to form a natural bridge across circuits, assuring a very sweet short-circuit.

Expert lush tip: The more likely the drink is to be served with an umbrella (you tough guy) the more important it is that you keep it away from your laptop.

7. Hot Tea (3% of spills).

The tannic acid is again a effective conductor that will bridge circuits, create shorts, and burn out components.

6. Sea Water (5% of spills).

Salt water is among natures best conductors, and one of the most corrosive liquids known to man. Its the NaCl (Sodium Chloride) that works the magic. Ever wonder why most ocean going vessels not painted faithfully look like floating buckets of rust? Dear Lord, leave your computer in your hotel room on vacation. Ocean versus laptop? Ocean wins. Every time.

5.Beer (6% of spills).

Beer drinkers cant seem to hold their liquor around their laptops, either. Beer is part water, part sugar, part brown goo. American lagers, as well as Mexican beers such as Corona or Dos Equis, are lighter than many imported brands, and may do less damage to laptops.

4. Wine (10% of spills).

It seems laptop owners drink even more wine than beer. Wine is the double-fisted Kung Fu punch of liquid spillssugar and acid combine into a corrosion stew. Like the hard liquors mentioned above in #9, wines contain ethyl alcohol (12-20%), along with remnants of the processing including yeast, sugar, sulfite preservatives, grape parts, and acetaldehyde. Together, these work as both a corrosive soup and a circuit shorter.

Tip for wine-lovers If you plan to drink and surf the web, may we suggest a nice white instead of red, suggests Kouyoumjian. A light Pinot grigio or gentle Chardonnay does slightly less damage than a rich, tannic Cabernet Sauvignon in our experience.

3. Soda (12% of spills).

Coke drinkers seem to spill a lot of drinks on their laptops. Perhaps its the caffeine? Soft drinks are extra-corrosive due to the sugar and acidity (dissolved CO2) of the liquid, which we are told works well in cleaning rust off of bicycle wheel rims

2. Water: (20% of spills).

Ironically, its not the water thats the problem its whats in it. Laptop boards are often completely immersed in a liquid called ultra-pure to clean damage from liquid spills, including water. Tap or bottled water contains minerals which account for its conductivity and its ability to cause corrosion, leading to the death of your laptop. You may recall from your high school chemistry days, that distilled water will not conduct electricity, but add a few grains of salt or other mineral and voila, we have a short circuit.

1.Most Common Killer Of Laptop Computers: Coffee.

(40% of all spills). Perhaps its because we drink coffee to wake up and sometimes were still clumsy in the mornings? Perhaps its because our hands are shaking from all the caffeine? Either way, spilled coffee on laptops is a computer killer. A complex brew of exotic chemicals, caffeine, cafestol, caffeic acid, and myriad additives like dairy cream, powered cream, sugar, Aspartame (Equal), saccharine, sucralose (Splenda), and more.

Expert tip: For whatever reason, drinkers of Starbucks Coffee lead in incidence of spilling the black magic liquid into their laptops, followed closely by drinkers of Dunkin Donuts coffee, according to Kouyoumjian. We recommend laptop users drink their coffee black. No sugar, means less corrosion.
