ECN Forum Forums Safety Discussion and News Safety News and Product Recalls laptop used in bathtub dangerous?

I was wondering how the Motherboard, Keyboard Contacts, Display and Disk Drives feel about the extremely high moisture level?!?!

Just another thing to consider and add to the list of "Don't Do Because Of:..."

Scott s.e.t.

I hope nothing happens to her, but it would be a different kind of Dell commercial, That kid Steven walks into the bathroom, startles the naked sister in the tub with Inspirion 4300 she knocks it into the water, and Steven says" Dudette you getting Electrocuted"

WOW ! Pretty esoteric analysis of power supplies, GFCI’s etc. etc. Did anyone suggest to check Charles Dalziels research work on electrocutions in human adults ?

May I respectfully suggest, that you suggest that she find something else to do in the tub …
If that dosen’t work help her maximize the computer time. Build her a platform for the car. Something that sits on the dash perhaps in front of the windshield then she can get more computer time in while driving.

As if drivers with cellphones are not bad enough? ;-)
