Maybe you should realise that

a) It sounds like a genuine accident
b) Its only an amp

Things get broken. Grow up and deal with it!

Oh i'm sorry, your car is only worth a couple of hundred quid. So I may have smashed into and written it off, I'm not paying though, it was an accident.

Banzai, get that dead head step son of yours to pay for the damaged he caused. Perhaps up the rent until the value is paid off?

Alas, his brother was watching tv this morning, so i can't try that one on.

Is Panasonic really that hard to type?

Why do people have kids

Kids are fine between the ages of 6-10. Teenagers aren't even a member of the same species!

or amps.

I have three cats, a couple of amps and one son. Never had an amp damaged by them, although one did get destroyed in a lightning strike! :eek:

I wonder if people would change their opinions of accidents when they have children of their own.

That doesn't apply to everyone though. My niece poked the tweeters on one of my my speakers ages ago, they still worked but sighed all the way to to RS to buy a new pair and sold the old pair at a loss.

These things happen

Imagine my disgust when a couple of years ago my 2 year old attacked my old TV with tongues from the kitchen draw taking a small chunk out the screen.

:mad:

But you have to chalk these things up to experience.

I've caught my 6 year old brother trying to take my old xbox apart with a screwdriver before. After he'd taken handles off of doors :eek:

Sorry about your amp man, I really didn't mean to do it. Your son knocked me over, what was I supposed to do? Just stay in the glass?

Begbie · 1 Feb 2013 at 14:57

I'd be stripping it and cleaning it, dip it in some IPA it seems to fix everything then make sure it is fully dry.

Not going to do it anyharm if it's already broke.

You have a kitchen drawer full of tongues? Ewwwwww.

ok, p*** taking aside, was it actually in use when it happened or just on stanby?

if wasnt being used and either on standby or off it should have a much greater chance of being ok. bare in mind the juice that poured out may have been sat in the bottom and might not have actually cover the complete internals, take the advice above regarding stripping down and cleaning, then allow to dry thoroughly. plug in and see what happens

I blame the OP, poor setup if someone is able to that easily poor juice into it, where is the glass rack?

Sounds you DON'T have AV kit. Info states NOT to put anything on the amp, so i can't stack my kit. It is pretty well placed to be fair, but can't legislate for some lanky pillock booting a full glass of apple juice that was sitting on a nearby lamp table across a 2ft distance to land on the amp.

You sound like such an understanding stepfather and role model.

Thank you i do try. I understand it was an accident, but am i expected to pay for it? If he'd not been so lazy and got up to walk around the sofa then it wouldn't have happened.
Again, **** happens, but i aint paying for someone else mistakes.....i've done enough of that for them. Now they are earning, they can pay for their own mistakes.

Lol, you didn't just make an analogy between your 2 year old and my 19 year old did you? One really should take respsonsibility, the other, well.....c'mon.

I'd also wonder if the amp was worth £1000 would they still be saying "get over it"

Exactly it's not like he's 5 years old and it happened. He's an adult in eyes of the law, so should he doing the responsible thing and paying for accidents he has caused.

It would be a good lesson for him to learn before he goes out into the big wide world.

Totally, I was so mad with my 2 year old for not taking responsibility for his actions. You can't expect a stoned teenager to take any responsibility.

Of course I didn't, was just throwing my experience of accidents into the mix. I was livid for about 5 minutes. Then spent weeks looking at the screen under a microscope for damaged pixels (he proper jabbed the screen).
