I work from home and I spilled water on my laptop, do you think the company will be to angry?

they shouldnt be angry they might just say that its no problem things like this happen and it could be able to b fixed.they shouldnt be mad one bit.but i dont think your work will deduct it from your check cause accidents happen unless they are really mean.

It was an ACCIDENT! Let me know where you work. I'd like to contact your boss and ask him to fire you the next time you make a mistake. You'll be gone by the end of the week! It requires intent for it to be a crime. Sorry if I went over your head there.

You should look into filing a lawsuit at least against him, but possibly against the company for letting it go on. They have clearly not made an effective effort to make a livable work environment for you. Contact a local lawyer.

The policy will vary between companies as it is likely a disciplinary offence.\n\nBest bet is to go and ask for the manager and make a formal complaint.  He doesn't need the hassle but make it clear if he doesn't get it sorted you will write to head office.

I reported a leak from the bath to my insurance company back in april. the man came to assess the job, outcome new bath req and replace small flooring area underneith bath. cowboys turn up a month later and find another fault, the toilet has  a crack in it and has leaked damaging the floor. Oh sorry mate we cant start the job cause thats another claim, another 50 quid excess and another month ahead the man turns up and by this time the cieling below is rotten and needs replacing, the man says he cant start yet cause the cieling has to be taken out by another firm of cowboys. two weeks later cowboy firm 2 turn up and take cieling out, the day after cowboys 1 come and replace the cieling and floor in the bathroom but a plumber (cowboy 3) has to take the bath and toilet out first. When i ask cowboy 3 what time is the new bath and toilet going back in, he says what bath? dont know anything about that mate. I ring the cowboy boss in his saloon and ask where my new bath is he says ill ave one for you this time next week, F*&%^"^^* ell I say, you mean after all these months of waiting you dont have a bathin waiting? no sorry mate. The plumber is about to leave and i ask what time will he be back to put the toilet back in, sometime tomorrow fella unless you could put it back in for us ta. F*&^%$&^&&** off  I say. He didnt come back so I did it myself. Meanwhile downstairs the cowboys have done the cieling but when i look I cant believe they have stood on the kitchen worktop and cracked it bad. I ring up next day and cowboy boss tells me oh yer mate my boys noticed that so they took a picture of it to prove it wasnt them. Mmmm, can you imagine how pissed off I am, well it goes on, you see when the cieling was done it had to be re artexed, ENTER cowboy 4. He artexes the cieling and while he is doing it splashes it all over the kitchen walls he has also damaged the cieling in the dining room adj to the kitchen. He comes back a week later to give me some paint to do it myself if i want, I tell him F&^%**&^** off as I am now ready to kill someone, he paints like a 7 year old child, after he rides off into the sunset to F&*^&  someone elses day up, I clean up his mess and repaint the kitchen myself. My Insurance company couldnt believe all this so I took photos along the way, they believe me now but I only get a sorry for the last FIVE MONTHS of absolute hassle. This job could have been done in a day, instead my insurers brought in the biggest team of cowboys this side of texas and it all ended up taking FIVE MONTHS. Be very carefull who you let into your house.

You will have to decide to live with this situation or leave the company. If you choose to stay and continue taking the blame, eventually it will catch up to you and you will be fired for incompetence (which is probably a wild card your boss is hiding from you). My advice is to keep your job for now, but update your resumé ASAP and start sending it out. Also, and this is very important, document every single incident for which you have been blamed, including dates, times, names, locations, and a clearly written explanation detailing it. This will come in handy if your boss tries to pull a fast one on you.

Bring it into the shop let them check it out for you.  This will save you monney in the long run if it over heats it can burn up you're hard drive or even go on fire.

Well, first off I would relax either way.  Last I heard the laptop was recovered and by all accounts the information was not copied off.  Lets face it, this was a petty crook stealing a laptop and probably some other small things.  Turned into a Federal case with huge nationwide attention, he was probably shitting his pants.  Identity theft is a major problem, but in this case you really don't need to worry more then the rest of us.\n\nThanks for your service.

If this is true, why don't you get some more employees with you and sue the company ? Their must be someone to whom you can carry your grievances and get help. Keep smiling, this is not the end of the world, all the best

did you check it worked whilst in the shop and get them to sign the reciept to say that it worked.\nif no then you have no comeback.\nget you´re laptop back and start looking on e-bay for the same laptop for spares or repair(like broken screen but not motherboard faults)\nyou will be able to repair it you´re self by taking the base apart and putting it back together in reverse(a monkey can do this belive me just don´t have it pluged in or the battery inserted.\nhave fun and learn something interesting.

I agree that the culprit may be a sticky subtance on the keys.  however, BAD IDEA to use water.  go to the pharmacy and grab the highest percent rubbing alchohol you can find.  the higher the better... it drys faster and if above 90% any charge carrying impurities wont be likely to do any damage if there are any at all.  swab off excess liquid from the Q-tip before applying... use liquid sparingly.\n\nif that doesnt work, try attaching an external keyboard.  Most laptops will disable the main keyboard if it finds that a second one is attached via USB or PS2 cable.  If attaching the keyboard does the trick than your laptop needs service and likely a replacement keyboard and/or cleaning.

My grandson spilled a glass of water on my laptop. Fortunately, I had a 3 year service warranty, so I returned it and they fixed it free of charge. I've purchased three laptops, with service warranty) and have had two completely replaced within months of the warranty running out with new laptops. Trust me, the warranty is well worth the price. For about $250 extra at the time I purchased the machines, I had them replaced with better laptops when those broke. Even though one has never had to be repaired, the savings was worth it on the others. And then, I don't have to worry about how to fix the computer when something happens. I just send it in for repairs.

Nothing to worry about-its happened to me a few time.You probably did bruise/scratch yourself at work.Put some neosporin on it and unless it gets infected just forget about it.

I would stop trying to use it altogether. You are more than likely only using it for stealing anyway, so now you are better off. Truly a shame it didn't fry your whole computer.\n\n\nLong Live Jambi

In any liquid spill situation, you must remove the battery immediately, this will prevent or limit short circuiting the motherboard and its non-serviceable parts. Between two evils, its better to loose data than an expensive laptop. keep the console open and let it rest on its side with the power plug port positioned up towards the ceiling, or lean it safely out of the way against a wall, or set it vertically with the monitor being above the console. Give it two weeks to completely dry, more time, if unsure. Please do not open the console casing to use a hair dryer, this could worsen the situation if it is still under warranty.  No guarantee if it already suffered any form of damages.\n~meow
