JFDIY Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 Is there a base plate on it or is it down in the mud... Jack the leg up on the lugs and recover it, 15minute job to we save 30p, that's my style.... 1
ProDave Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 I had to drill down through the head of a wall recently to drop some cables. I found it must be a tripple head as my 6" long drill bit (less the bit in the chuck) did not reach through. No problem, I did as I have done many times before, use my "screwdriver bit holder" as a drill extension. Drilled the hole. Only this time the drill bit then fell out and is now at the bottom of someone's wall.

Did it stop the milk soaking in the upholstery? ( spilt milk in hot car smells awful, ask me how I know ?)

Pete Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 Don't mention spilt milk, laptop now dead after milky coffee tsunami

Probably will not help but at least you tried to resuscitate the patient. Sugary coffee is worst.
daiking Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 I’m guessing this job wasn’t completed this afternoon... #lazy
ToughButterCup Posted November 21, 2019 Author Posted November 21, 2019 I have two speeds: dead slow and stop. What else is retirement for?
Ferdinand Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) Jerry Pournelle used to recommend taking keyboards into the shower for cleaning. Can”t see why it would not work for a laptop, as long as it is dried properly afterwards (and backup up first - but then we all have full backups anyway *).

The night before my wife closed the laptop lid and one hinge broke so when I poured coffee on it I finished the job!!

Must have been in a book of his I had not read. I liked 'A Step further out'. Think I still have my copy from the 1981. I never realised he had died, but he was well into his 80's.
