Macferno: Powerbook Go Boom!
Filed under: Hardware, Troubleshooting, Security
On November 16, an OnDeckTech 24×7 help desk technician received a call from a distraught Powerbook owner whose laptop had just been destroyed, trying to see if she could recover any of her data. Her 80GB 15″ Powerbook, her two Maxtor external 300GB drives and her 160GB LaCie Porche drive had all been affected by the explosion of her new cable modem.
The details described by the technician, who posted both pictures and a detailed account of the explosion, reminds us that proximity–or a lack thereof–can be an important component in safeguarding your backup drives.
The data, fortunately, survived.
Thanks Andrew
