When those worthless assholes went through my shite they opened it and then left it on and I guess it cooked itself.


Any chance I get money from those fricking pigs?

I don't have a ton of experience with the TSA, but good luck. If you make a big enough stink about it they might.

How does a laptop cook itself just on the battery. It will eventually go to sleep or the battery went dead. Did you watch them turn it on and turn it off?

If it was a checked bag file a claim with the airliner. I got a new set of luggage once because they broke one wheel off.

It sounds like your laptop broke itself.

If he had those features disabled and it wasn't on a level service, the air vent for the cpu could have been blocked, leading to it getting cooked.

They could easily make an argument that he should have had it in an appropriate laptop case, in which there's very little chance it could get cooked. It could shorten the battery's life, but no way you can quantify that in a complaint.

He's going to need a better story to get any traction.

Well it's a bitch when virtually all your work shite is on that computer. Guess I can use my iPad in the meanwhile.

Sounds like a depleted battery. You should plug it in so that it can recharge the batteries.
