Mate of mine kept having his sent back repaired (even after coke spillage).

He gave it to his nephew and asked him to throw it down the stairs

Drive a car over it, drop it.

On a laptop that old if you drop it from a decent height they will replace instead of repair.

Coke should also do the job though, pour some of it in the holes at the side just incase the keyboard is good at protecting the motherboard.

my mate made a cup of coffee with 14 sugars in it then poured it over his laptop whilst it was switched on. did the trick for him.

would be funny if you broke it with liquid damage etc then find you weren't covered for it

Surely liquid damage would not be covered?. You got an accidental damage cover one?

Overclock it too

Overheat it - leave it running in a confined space running some stress tests, will keep shutting itself down but if you keep hammering it, it'll die eventually.



Would be a little easier if we were talking about an Xbox here, farting on it would do

Whats the best way to ‘accidentally’ damage a laptop thats nearing the end of its warranty? I poured milk over the keyboard and into the motherboard, it went very odd and thought id done a good job, but two days later its working back to normal now! I want to perminantly damage it beyond repair, but make it look accidental or a malfunction.
