So I won’t 😄. I will however add that the white substance inside and outside is laundry detergent that it had been soaking in for months.

Miraculously the SSD was the only uncorroded and salvageable part. I was able to extract the client’s kids’ minecraft worlds.

    Parents gotta be gamers. No other parent understands the gravity of that much work in a game.

    I’m struggling to imagine how this even happens. Did it literally go in the washing machine?

      Kid probably got food or juice on it, then thought the best solution would be to put it in a washing machine to… clean it.

        And this is exactly why I made it a point to hammer home with mine that “Electric things” + Water = BAD

        Although it had an unintended side effect where they wouldn’t want to bring anything with lights or sounds into the bath, including those light up toys specifically designed to go into a bath lmao

        This would be a possibility but that doesn’t explain the brute force damage. It would get banged up in the washing machine maybe (although there didn’t seem to be any traces of water on it) but not to such an extent.

    I mean, I’d at least give it a glancing wipe over the keyboard before giving it to tech support … 😂

      No time dude… They’re too busy concocting a punishment for the kid that juuust scratches the threshold of breaking the law.
