Well

Ive just run over my macbook!

yes with a car,
I was getting all my stuff out the car ready for a trip three floors upstairs when the phone goes, my car has been in the garage, women just tells me my new car needs over £1000 worth of work done! so me in a ranging state decide to head to the garage right then.
so i get back in the car and start reversing out to head to the garage.
what did i forget? laptop back outside car.... CRUnCH

BOO

so its still works... i am trying on it just now :) although the screen is bust big time, :(

That story is just too unreal to be true :eek:

Bet you couldn't believe your luck, I feel your pain mate but can't wait for the pics :p

no tbh i couldn't.. it was an expensive few minutes there, the most expensive so far!


yeah i am defo going to replace this. maybe macbook pro this time.. just to treat myself :)
Folks think it may be covered under there home insurance tho which if it is would really be amazing.

yeah at least i didn't run over myself! e17 stylie.. bones heal at least! to be fair its only a thing and things can be replaced :)

so what do you think i should do with it if i cant claim/how much would it be worth. its the reason before last update only 8 weeks old 250gig hd and 4gb ram 2 ghz c2d
 
My phone was covered under home insurance, as was my bike, both got full £ back.

Phone was worth £300, so got £300 to replace. Bike was £670, and got most of that back too.

Most likely you're gonna need proof of purchase of the stuff inside the laptop, or if its not customized, the receipt will do.

Need pics.

My question: why do we not have pictures of the destruction yet!?

Finally a safe way (for me anyway) to see how resilient a MacBook can be...
 
Code:
if (this === true) {
  you = new muppet;
  you.postPicturesOfYourCrushedMacbookYouClown();
  return true;
} else {
  you = new mk1_dubbaScaleLiar;
  you.deleteOcUKAccount();
  return false;
}
 
Ok here is are the pics



O yeah and a big thanks for the messages of support! Ahem!

As you can see the screen took the brunt of the damage, while the case is almost perfect!

Also i think i have found a new TFT for £100 so i should be back in action!

Will update with screen fitting sesh pics when that goes down.
Please resize the pics to something smaller or just link them

yeah think replacing the screen sounds like the best option since its the cheapest :)
