[Video] Me breaking my iBook (death via dropping)

[Dayemare]

IT was late at night. Since the iBooks have been replaced by MAcbooks and are no longer talked about, I decided to film a video all about the iBooks with their features and such and how awesome it is. But a few seconds in, I accidently dropped it. Hard. And it broke. But it was an accident. I swear.

Anyways,I couldn't help but to laugh at the video. here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsP39t0zUYs

the question.. does it work? Yep. No issues whatsoever. IT works perfectly. It's ****ed up real bad physically, though. Everythings bent and stuff. But I couldn't help but to laugh at that video. Hah.

Anyways, This is something that wont be coverd by applecare.. so after I get the courage to tell my paernts in the morning, I hopefully assume we will be heading to go get a Macbook. but I doubt it.

Hah. Just thought i'd post about my horrific night.

You are a brave kid to laugh at that afterwards, man, that is so ****ing harsh. And the video, is rather amazing lol

[Mx]

Damn man, that sucks. You think your parents may even buy a new one? Damn, I hope for you they do, but slightly spoilt lol. But that video, is just great, sorry for say it lo.l

But dude you look about 10...

[Digitalx]

man i coulda used that... :(

[houlty]

dont know why, but it looks staged IMO....

[azz0r_wugg]

Looks completely staged imho...how old are you?

[Japlabot]

You could open it up and reseat all of the components and reseat the chassis and it'ld be almost as good as new. I didn't see anything that was actually broken, just put out of place.

[Vice]

wow... I dropped my old iBook once and it made the lid close unevenly by a few mm's but that was only from about 2 feet.. you dropped that like what 5/6 feet?

[ThisSiteHasLostItsCharm]

does look a tad staged ;) oh my god!!! lol

[dh5]

[mycoolkim]

[hotdog666al]

still works though, ill buy it off you for $100

[Syphonic]

Awww a munchkin!

Yeah, iBooks are a funny animal...they don't feel like the strongest of things but man they are built solid as ****. After years of tramping about with mine on sleep in my backpack the harddrive finally went but Apple replaced it free of charge. How nice.

[J400uk]

That video made me laugh it looks well staged though. Also your quite lucky to have an iMac and iBook for someone your age.

[saxondale.]

It does look very staged

[madnuke]

I dropped my laptop from a hotel balcony and the only thing that broke was the hard drive cover which i had to sort of glue back on.

Least the logic board didnt get damaged, seen loads of dead iBooks with that problem, fine comestically you oculd perhaps replace the caseing from a dead LB one of ebay.

[Shof]

rma it to apple or repair it yourself

[Sethos]

How old are you?

Don't you think mom and dad will buy you another one ... *sigh*

[dannyscott5]

staged, thats lame man :|

[Jimmy0]

Looks so staged, and like others have said ... how old are you? :rofl:

[ozgeek]

Very stupid kids these days. I doubt that mummy and daddy will buy you a new one, not even apple will be happy to replace it for you free. :no:

Hope your mummy doesn't know or you get a pretty good beat up for that.

[chconline Veteran]

lol and you look very young :p
