The fan on my years old bed laptop (ASUS G771 "gaming" laptop with 17 inch screen) started making a god awful racket a few weeks ago. I went out and bought some canned air and opened it up to clean the fan. First thing i noticed: not as easy to open this piece of shit as my trusty Thinkpads and Latitudes. There were like 20 screws. And one of the screws was stripped, thankfully it was in the very corner so I was still able to access the fan and shoot out the dust. But I fucked up. I must have huffed a little too much duster because I drooled on the motherboard. I'm not sure how long the drool was on it but I did soak it up with a sock that was sitting there on the floor. I reassembled the laptop and booted it up. It worked for a little bit, I was able to compute for a few minutes then everything got all pixellated and glitchy, i thought for a second that maybe I had huffed too much duster again but then I got a weird error message and the thing froze. I held power button to turn it off, now it won't boot at all. It had a good run. I had began to resent the machine anyways, it was nice having a 17 inch IPS panel but the thing was very heavy and cumbersome, and would only last 1 and a half hours on battery. I'm over big laptops. I will salvage the SSD and ram sticks, buy a refurbished 15 inch i7 latitude or thinkpad for less than 200 dollars and install Xubuntu on it and use that for a new bed computer.
if you want to talk shit, I have a 27 inch monitor arriving October 25th for my living room computer and nobody here has a larger monitor than that, not even sonatine
