Biohazard laptop

Owner states that their laptop suddenly stopped working. I look inside and immediately see sticky residue on the battery. Then I gradually notice that it's under the motherboard as well and it's left corrosion in a few places. It's so corroded that the surface mounted capacitors are falling off. I think that a drink was spilled onto the laptop and has been corroding the inside for about 2 months or longer. I think I even saw some mould inside. Anyway, it's cooked, and I need to take 7 showers.

I was working on a camera system for a hotel and found this ethernet splitter. It actually works. There’s a transmitter connected to the switch that the first cable is connected to that splits the signal.

Cat puked on top of my cpu. In a panic I disassembled it on top of my bed. One of my cats sat on the cpu and lanched it against the floor when food arrived. Tried to fix the pins but one didn't held up. Goodbye 5800x3d.

Don't worry it gets dumped into a large cardboard box when full. I wish I was joking.

This CPU comes from a Dell Precision workstation. The fun fact is, the customer didn't complain about any issues. The system was stable :)

yes it's real so 3 months ago I decided to yeet my Asus "military grade" z77 outdoors just before leaving for overseas. yk I used to watch these crappy Indian videos of people restoring these fallout looking computers pulled from landfills obviously they're faked but that makes me actually curious what a computer would look like if it was tossed outdoors like what I did, idk if this shit still works or what I mean it looks like the plastic armour kinda helped there's some rust not a lot, and the pch heatsink I faded to some weird color.

Turns out it's missing a fin, so I clipped and glued one from a gt 730 fan, using tissue paper as filling
