2008 Wrecklist!
Written by Arnan on September 30, 2008 – 11:02 pmAll the things that are computer/electronics related in random order and broke this year.
Everything on the list is/was owned by me and either needed to be repaired or thrown away. Most things i had to throw away and replace.
It seems this year so far is quite disastrous if not crap for my electronics, computer gear mostly.
I cannot recall so many things broke the year before… In fact, i doubt anything broke that year. Aside for some minor things.
The actual list of wrecked stuff:
- iPod touch - due to a short in the headphones.
- Lacie Edmini Ethernet disk - Broke twice actually, once due to a broken partition table.
- Macbook pro - on 4 different occasions: Superdrive, Sound I/O board, Memory and Topcase.
- 160GB Harddisk - Bad blocks.
- Netgear 8 port switch - Power adapter blew up the internal power thingy.
- 320GB Harddisk - Ruined drive heads.
- DSL Modem - Faulty firmware.
- Logitech MX1000 mouse - Fell of a table.
- AMD3000+ CPU - High pitched noise, resulted in unstable systems.
- AMD1500+ and Mainboard - CPU just died, condensators blew due to heating on the mainboard.
- 17″ Fan - Started leaking oil and the motor jammed.
- PC Powersupply 350W - Unstable DC output.
- Sony Ericsson W850I Cellphone - Bad signal all the time or no signal at all.
- Microsoft Comfort Curve keyboard - Non responsive keys.
- Stereo headset - Earpiece fell off.
- Blade saw - Broke whilst attempting to cut a beam.
- Macbook Pro battery - Just in time for warranty, would no longer charge.
- ATI Radeon 1650 512MB VGA - Just died with no explanation.
Let’s hope not too much breaks in the remainder of this year.
