I smell burning

A few weeks ago, in a moment of stupidity, I knocked over my (cooled) cup of tea on my desk. It didn’t spill on the keyboard, but rather surrounded my powerbook. I immediately lifted up my laptop and put it on a towel.

Everything seemed fine and in working order. But of course, in laziness, I neglected to turn off my powerbook to let it dry (you see, when it works fine, it should stay fine!) But in the last few days, I have noticed how my powerbook hates charging. A faint smell of burning wafts when I have the charger in my powerbook. And I hear a faint screeching.

But everything works fine. Seriously.

  1. Make up an excuse for leaving, and slowly back away from the powerbook. After you leave, close and lock the door behind you. Alert the authorities.

    Oh, and back up all your data pronto.
