Hi there,
So I think my cat peed on my laptop. I can't fathom why he chose a laptop over his preferred shoes. This morning I woke up to find my trusty ol' lappy sitting in a pool of strong-smelling liquid, as though the laptop itself had peed, and I can only guess that it was cat pee because I didn't see what happened.
Anyway, right before I found it in said pool of strong-smelling liquid, I tried powering it on normally and nothing happened. Well, nothing normal, anyway. I smelled burning plastic, there was hissing from inside the computer, and a bit of smoke started coming out of the fan vent. Again, this was right before I found the cat pee puddle.
My question is -- is my laptop completely lost re: the burning plastic and smoke, or can I leave it for a few days before getting its insides cleaned? (And is that really honestly cat pee? Because I'm still in shock that my cat pissed on my computer.)
I'm clinging on to a few shreds of hope that it might not be dead because this is a newish laptop (less than two years) and I was hoping that it would carry me through the rest of uni. Boo. :/
