Can you destroy a laptop by accidentally (and momentarily) plugging your Sony headphones into the USB port that is to the immediate left of the headphone port you were blindly aiming for while watching TV? I'd say naaaahh! But then again, I haven't been able to turn on the laptop I've had for less than a week since doing this. Please help. |
||||||||
|

|
|
OH SNAP! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

What were you watching on the tube? If it was a sitcom....goodluck. I might be able to help you if it was a cartoon though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Heheh, I'm not going to try it to find out. But the headphone port on mine comes out of the front, and I've tripped over it twice and now the jack practically falls out! ARRG! stupid design. |
||||||||

yipes.....i'd take it to a professional to give it the ole FIX ER ROO! gluck |
||||||||
|

|
|
so what's going on |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
don't know about that, but if you drop an imac down a flight of stairs, the imac breaks, and becomes useless, which isn't a change from what it was when it was "working". |
||||||||

zaphod > therefore i am useless too... : P |
||||||||
|

...or maybe i don't exist. |

so just by the employment of common sense we can eliminate the momentary disruption the USB port felt when it was violated/penetrated by Sony as the immediate and exact reason for the computer's inability to properly function or respond to any external power sources. is he just traumatized? I tried telling him it doesn't reflect poorly upon he as a person.. and it in no way affects his sexuality. it was all an accident, really |

thew new imacs are cool, hope it wasn't one of those! |

yeah it's brroke good and prroperr |
||||||||

You can tell it like it is theo, you licked the USB port cos you just couldn't get enough of your new toy. It happens, it's more common than you'd expect. |
||||||||

ha. it was, but it wasn't mine, which made things even worse. i was trying to lug the box up some stairs and someone was coming down the stairs, and the box fell, rolled down the stairs, and the imac was no more. luckily i didn't have to pay fro the thing. i'm still paying off my powerbook. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok so this, I take it, does not sound reasonable to any of you |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eeeewwww the new imacs sucks. then again so do the old ones. so do powerbooks, g4's, g5's.... well just about anything mac sucks, including the software. pcs only have one sucky thing: microshaft winblows |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
macs do suck.. up the godliness because they own pcs five ways til sunday. wow, that was terrible. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like macs, cause they look sweet, but are damne xpensive. i hate winblows which is why i replaced it w/ litestep! TAKE THAT BILL GATES!! you whore.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
macs are real computers |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My guess would be that it created an electrical disruption and shorted something in the computer. Either that or it's a crap laptop. |

cool. thanks for the help. I'll come back with more questions for your scary expertise. big help. |

maybe this can be answered: what if this did short my laptop out.. what then? what's the next step and what will be lost as a result |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think the only decent thing to do would be for someone to volunteer to plug their headphones into the USB port of their laptop and then post the results. Having no laptop, I can't help here. |

It depends on what was shorted out. When you attempt to turn it on what happens? And have you tried using an alternate power source (ex. AC instead of battery or opposite)? If you can't get a light or a whir or anything out of it then maybe something's wrong with your powersource. If it comes on and just sits there looking blank then maybe your motherboard is blown. Anyway, since it is new, you should still have a warranty, I'd hope, if you didn't get it second-hand. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
nothing happens when I attempt to turn it on.. that's true for when its adapter is plugged in and when the adapter is not plugged in. I think I'm fucked. unless all you need is a new battery or whatever. I can't imagine though, that something as small as that would cause this to happen |

|
which one is the usb port? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
usb isn't even shapped the same as a headphones jack, i don't know how that would fit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
man, what's litestep like these days? i've gone back to using windowsxp - normally i use lunix, but support for my new pc is fucking awful, it runs like a bag of shit. wouldn't mind using an alternative shell, but i remember a year or go when i tried, they were all godawful slow. |
