So I was commissioning this small pump house. Actually, the one from my old post. It was about 6PM and I was putting the final touches on the float switches for the cistern, when BOOM. A 4" main PVC coupling blew apart and soaked my laptop and the half of me facing the pipe. Kind of like a cartoon.
I pulled out the USB cable, ran outside. Right-away removed the battery cover and disconnected the battery. It was also raining outside to add insult to injury.
I went back to the shop, removed the hard drives, ram, wifi card, etc then pulled out the heat gun and dried it out. The only casualty was a few keys on the keyboard that the "water" melted as I was drying it out. Went back to the site after the plumbing was repaired and finished setting up the system. I gotta hand it to this Inspiron 7559. It is still going strong. As an aside, I left the USB cable in the AD P1000 while the other end floated in a few inches of water. Before I left for the shop, I went back in and removed that USB cable and the USB port on the processor still works.
All-in-all, I can't imagine being any luckier.
