Popped downstairs to check the post, missus & sprog were sound asleep in bed. I get back to find this, guess the sprog woke up and wanted to play :eek:

Hehehehe - my daughter has done that twice now.
my laptop keys have some weird metal sprung legs so I was able to put them back in without a problem.
How old is the sprog?
 
15 months, i've got the keys back in now, but i've lose a couple of the black rubber nipples which actually make the contact. Joy :(
 
It's Karma balancing herself out after you purchased a Packard Bell! :p

Hmmm, lost the rubber contacts you say? looks like new keyboard time. Easy to fit and I think you can get them for around 50 quid. Lesson learned - Sprogs + Technology don't mix.

I set up a login for my daughter so that she can practice her "words" in notepad.

Got a pair of them, insurance payouts are great, but they sent us purple shirt vouchers :(
 
I work as tech support/repair for yes the purple shirt brigade and had a customer who's young daughter had jumped up and down on his laptop to the point the screen was smashed and hanging off; luckily the guy had insurance and as his daughter was very young ie couldn't understand the consequences of her actions I authorised repair for free.

Before we could collect the laptop for repair the guy rang back several hours later to report his daughter had got the laptop again and this time given it a bath :eek: at this point it was advised to the customer that he would now have to pay for the repairs.
 
Heh, we've got insurance on the printer we got at the same time, printer got a pounding from the stairs (which i fell down), now we can't find the recipt, bum!
 
Kids, aren't they great?

I had to dismantle my Sky plus box recently because my son had decided it was a money box and magnetic alphabet letter storage box. I removed about 50 pence in change and a bunch of magnetic letters which had been jammed in the Sky card slots. Bloody kids!
 
The closest I get to anything like this is when students come to me saying that their mate spilled a glass of champagne (yes, its Cambridge Uni... and it happens regularly) on their laptop.

Pull out battery and cue half a glass of flat bubbly on the floor...
 
Gotta love kids...my 1 yr old lad's broken the space bar, playing some online fisher price game. He seems safer with the mouse and paint :)

I have lost control of the TV remote, and he has a habit of destroying the homechoice box...aah...the blue lights...must press...
 
Must admit, one of the first things my youngest did with the laptops is learn that pressing the power buton as she walked passed got her a LOT of attention :D
