Strange Computer Fixes
« on: September 11, 2008, 09:01:32 AM »
Hi All,
I was posting in another thread about a user with a sticky keyboard. pcwizard
 posted to take the keyboard and put it in the steam clean cycle of a dishwasher. This made me think, what is the strangest computer fixes that you have heard.

The dishwasher thing was new to me but I have heard and used freezing a bad hard drive to get it to spin up for one last read of data.

What off the wall repairs have you heard off?

Whenever I watch TV and I see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I would love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff." - Mariah Carey, Pop Singer

    Hmmm....I think he meant something like wash your webcam under the tab and it will have better resolution.
