one of my student aides knocked over a soda right on my macbook...all over the keyboard...fried the logic board, even got into the hard drive...i was so depressed all night. i've been working on this computer for a year and a half...and never backed up anything...
swapped the HD into another macbook, worked for about 20 minutes, then died...
made a genius bar appointment and their computer's couldn't mount my drive...i slept like crap, and just prayed that something would work...this morning, i removed the hard drive again, and then reset it again, and turned it on, and IT WORKED!!!
i'm copying all my documents and pictures onto a flash drive right now, then gonna start on my music and just spend all day copying stuff to another computer...its like a miraculous recovery...i can't believe this at all...don't understand whats going on, but i'm glad i can get all the stuff i've been working on for the last year off of it...hopefully i can get all the fun stuff too...
and please, i LOVE my macbooks, love mac in general, so please don't just come in and complain about how mac's ruin the world...if you don't like them that's fine, i'm adverse to PC's...but we just dont need to get into it...its a happy moment.  Quote: |

Also a kinda related protip: If you spill water on electronics, turn it off as quickly as possible, take out the battery, and put the entire device in a shoebox filled with cat litter. Let it sit long enough to dry. This method has not failed me yet and even quickly brought a dropped cell phone back to life.  | |

I understand losing a piece of electronics is very disheartening, especially since it's a computer. It's your gateway to the world and those your communicate with. It's also a source of entertainment. I hope you can get enough data off your drive before something else happens, and hope that you can scrounge up enough money to buy another. | |
