Juice in a Sony Vaio laptop




This is what happens when you let juice go into your laptop and don't immediately power it off completely and dry it before checking to see if it works. The first picturs is of shorted out resistors. The second is a chip with many pins shorted and burnt next to more shorted resistors. This particular laptop is a Sony Vaio VGN-NS10L (PCG-7144M)




You would think that with all the brains in sony they would put a cover to access the hard drive just as they did with the memory and as most other laptops are made. In order to get this hard drive out I had to remove 25 screws. It is a standard sata hard drive so I cannot imagine why it is not accessible easily like the ram. Bad Sony. The motherboard is mounted upside down so when I tried to boot the machine with the cover open I had to be careful not to shift parts when I opened the laptop to press the power button.

Review: The Bad Lieutenant Port of Call New Orleans

Waste of time watching this. The iguanas were absolutely unnecessary, then add the bad camera work to it, poor. The Bad Lieutenant Port  of Call New Orleans gets 1 star.

Polar bears and penguins




Polar bears live at the North pole. Penguins live at the South pole. The only time we see them together is in illustrations on ads and post cards which may be why it is not widely known that they live on opposite sides on the globe.
The word 'Arctic' comes from a greek word that means bear and 'Antarctic' comes from a word that means without bear.
