Hang it up like a towel

You're in Asia? Perfect!.. Get some rice.. and place the laptop in with it.. The rice will absorb moisture.. help you out a lil' better than anything else.. unless you have those little absorption balls that come with shoes and backpacks and stuff.

Know you didnt mean it like this but you make it sound like you can only buy rice in Asia! Like popping outside and theres just rice lying around in the street or something. :D

Pull it apart and get that water out, seriously dude, it won't last asia if you don't do something about it.

Isn't that how it is?

I mean in Australia you walk outside and there is usually a kangaroo which you can hop on and take you to school, or work.

Ahaha I actually lold at that one.

RE using rice: that sounds like a horrible idea! Won't rice get in all of the tiny groves and crevices that laptops have? I'm visualizing a Windows laptop though, I don't know if Macbooks are constructed differently in that regard.

Anyway to the OP... I understand that you must keep using your laptop because of your situation, but you have to look at it in another way. If you don't do something to help the laptop, then it will die, and you will be worse off than if you had lost a couple of days travel/work.

Are you sure your travel insurance will cover you???

Can't you just use an internet cafe???

[team_NOOB]

update? with pics?

[DrewJW]

Hmm no update, I imagine he is waterlogged :D

[saxondale.]

All is well.

[mbtx__]

All is well.

What ended up happening dude? Get a new one through insurance or managed to un-waterlog the old one?

[+shift. MVC]

I'm curious as to whether this would be covered by Apple Care or not?

[.Neo]

That's awful man. :( Did you get a new one from your insurance company?

You don't watch enough Discovery Channel.

Isn't that how it is?

You watch too much!

:rofl:

Sort of dried up on its own over the past week. There's some damage to the screen (uneven light, streaks, water spots), so i'll be claiming on my travel insurance and then buy the next revision. Hopefully it'll survive my trip to vietnam, cambodia and japan!

Well i was walking close to it and paritially intoxicated, and did not see the pipe laying across the walk way and yeah thats how it happend. It sucked. I am getting my macbook pro next week thou and i am going to stay far away from water entities.

[dhavalhirdhav]

um, hello?

This is Neowin, the only reason the Neobahn exists is because people post pictures of cars, because otherwise, it's very very clear that they are the figment of our imagination.

I've been here for 5 years, and my considered opinion?

More pics or it didn't happen! :D
