Hi Barry,
Nightmare! I did that with a Nokia about 4 years back. The Nokia did work
again but it's camera was recked and it doesnt' remember the Date/Time if
it's powered off. I still have it and have used it as an emergency spare.
Regarding your Stream... You maybe covered still by Humanware if it is less
than a year old. Try contacting Tom burton in Tech Support Humanware UK
tom.burton@xxxxxxxxxxxxx .
I feel your pain! Two days before I went on Microsoft Cert training (only
in the last week or so), I managed to dump a cup of tea off a side table
over my 3 week old MSI Laptop that I bought in Canada! The thing was
wrecked. I dried it out for 24 hours but when I opened it the RAM,
Motherboard and CPU were covered with stickyness from the Milk in the tea.
I had to run up to PC World and buy a Toshiba I3 as I needed a machine to
take away with me. Luckily our house insurance with Loyds are covering the
liquid laptop!
Perhaps it's the name? Maybe we're cursed? Lol Sorry fella I know it
sucks.
Best of luck with Humanware!
Barry.
