A Computer you can use in the Shower

Step 9 Test it.

Hopfully you haven't damaged your laptop in this process. Go plug it in and see if it boots up. If it does, put your computer in the bathtub and plug it in (make sure it is plugged into a GFCI protected outlet for safety). Start the computer and turn on the shower. DON'T TOUCH THE COMPUTER AT THIS POINT. We don't want any electrical shocks. Leave the shower and computer running for a few min.

If nothing happens to your laptop then you did everything right. Congratulations.

If your computer goes sssiiizzzzzzzzzzzz, then you have done something wrong (I've had a few computers make this noise from short-circuiting, but not from water). I'm sorry to say but your computer won't work anymore.

Please do not try to submerge the laptop in water. This is ment for only light amounts of water. This may protect a little from submerged laptops but you can be sure that water will find its way in eventually. If your computer does get submerged, do not try to turn it on or plug it in for less than 5 days.

Also I haven't gotten all the pictures up yet, but I wanted to get this post up. I will be adding pictures as I take them. :P

or you could use the heat shrink mono-cote wing covering for you screen. it has heat activated glue on the one side and stretches tight for a good fit.

A very novel idea. Instead of just saran for the screen, I would recommend The shrink wrap used to put over windows in the wintertime. It is tougher, lasts longer, and will stay clearer a longer period of time. Also for some silicone tubes are screw on "attachments" that evenly distribute the silicone. Some use brushes, some are just a rectangular nozzle for even, and wide, application. just my two cents...
