As you know from a previous post, my son smashed my iPhone. Well, he didn't stop in there! In the pic below you can see what happens when a rambunctious 2 year old decides the most appropriate place for your (already pitiful) laptop is the floor via a 3 foot drop from the computer desk. As you can see, that is me pulling the side of my lap top away, which has the power button on it. There are supposed to be wires attached to the button so when I push it, the lap top actually turns on. Now, the wires are detached.
How, you may ask, then do you turn it on? To sum it up, I have to "hot-wire" it! Yes, you read correctly. I first unplug it to avoid electrocution, pull the side away slightly, use my finger to find the tiny wires, rub the exposed ends together, hope it turns on!
So, given that I'm a poor doc student, that's not getting fixed anytime soon. Here's hoping I don't get shocked and burn my fingertips!
