Tech Support People Are Sharing The Worst Cases They’ve Seen While On The Job (30 New Pics)

Finally a good use for anything (cr)apple.

Are you expecting Ram-bo?

I see someone never had that toy where you gotta get the right shape block in the corresponding hole.

Holy jumping Jesus on a pogo stick! Cat hair and cigarette smoke mixed with carpet dust. The dumbest pc clean out I ever had was a woman who kept her pc in her sewing room. She had recently been cutting velvet, but couldn't figure out why her pc wouldn't turn on. Opened it up and not only was her powersupply packed with velvet so were all of her fan screens and IO radiators...

I used to love doing that, and if you could get the grime off the ball in one long piece it was LEVELLED UP \o/

That's not how to partition a hard drive.

Cut with a waterjet. Nice!

Huh, have you tried turning it off and on again?

That......was very carefully executed.

World's easiest jigsaw puzzle ?

It is a clean cut, though...

Given that there is a lathe/press roller in the background, I expect the people who took the photo tested their water cutter. Yes I am fun at parties.

I was thinking light saber, or, water cutter. LOL

How? And why?

The jolly green giant's grandma is gonna be pissed that someone used her pinking shears without asking.

I have never wanted to know the story behind a picture more in my LIFE.

Try turning off and on?

……HOW?

Is that the machine you were called to repair or merely a side show freak?

There is definitely an interesting story behind that one... You would need to purposely saw through the laptop with a band saw to do that, and not to mention it would be really hard to to

I'm pretty sure water damage isn't covered by the warranty.

Cut by a laser cutter or water jet, i assume.🤣

We had problems setting up the laser printer...

My mate has a laptop nailed to his van door due to "technical issues"

Bob: "Oh yeah? I'll bet your laser won't cut through my laptop!" Voiceover: "Bob learned an important lesson that day..."

Replace caps and optos, some apoxy, a replacement screen and it will be good as new

how is this even possible

I want to know!

It’s a puzzle for sure

"It's art!" is the most common answer.

looks like waterjet cut

Holy smokes, that is an IBM laptop, the older series for Lenovo Xs... it is almost unbreakable... and that cut is pretty clean... ... now I also wish to know what happened to that machine! :D

Service shop just got a laser deck, and some idiot forgot to check before her turned it on..

someone had fun with a laser...

Its an original IBM thinkpad, it probably still works.

Gee let's see what we can hack up with the new water jet cutter

HOW

How?

How was that cut???

Practicing with the jigsaw.

I felt like doing that to some of the old computers I used that would cut off at random and you would loose everything.

One use for a crappy Intel machine - turn it into machine performance art!

This reminds me of an old boss who quit in a big huff. But not before drilling a half inch hole through his not backed up laptops hard drive

Yikes! Looks to me like a jigsaw puzzle now!

Jigsaw.

It must be a great assistance service, if someone thinks they can fit that.

shocking indeed

Hope they paid you well.

Man that DJ's beats were on fire last night...

LOL. So much effort to make something bad. For those unfamiliar, winding wire amplifies the magnetic field. In transformers and electromagnets this is a good thing. In data cables not so much. So even with "normal" network cable you want to minimize how much extra cable you have coiled up to prevent signal interference. To add a bunch of unshielded tight windings intentionally is just a big NOPE. It's a data cable, not a macrame key ring fob

Seems like a negative ten to me ;)

"Fragile; Must be Italian"

What do you do? Put it back in.

That's clearly just upside down, it's supposed to be 66:11

I have this keyboard. It magically replaces my usual one when I'm drunk.

Now that looks more like the US government.

If they managed to do this by simply using the computer then that is impressive.
