Keyan Farlander Posted May 9, 2001 Share Posted May 9, 2001 Sunday night, I turned on my computer and a huge blue spark shot out of it. I could smell stuff burning in there, too. I think there may be a small problem with it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR2000Z Posted May 9, 2001 Share Posted May 9, 2001 This reminded me of a true story that happened form me. Get ready for a excerpt from my life's story! I know that you all are so excited to hear. The day was Friday the 13. I came home form school and watched TV. Then I had to go to the bathroom.So I went.(I wont go into detail. You all are old enough to read this-keep reading.) But when I turned on the lights, the generator blew up and there were tons of sparks flying all over the bathroom! Neat! Then it smelled liked burned rubber. So my mother, brother and I went shopping to wait untill my dad comes home... -An excerpt from the book JR2000Z-The Younger Years:A Book that the Publishing company Couldn't Read.

Keyan Farlander Posted May 9, 2001 Author Share Posted May 9, 2001 When I was pulling the jumper cables off of my battery, I dropped them, and the two ends touched. The cable was still connected to the battery on the other car at this point, so you can guess what the result was. Hardly a disaster, but they fell right near my feet, so it was kind of...shocking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jem Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 I now present to you: The "shocking" tales of the Jem: I remember when we had our first computer (twas a 286), coming back from vacation, we forgot about he voltage and plugged it in 220V instead of 110V: all burnt out, fixing it was more expensive then buying it. I also remember when we moved in the first house we had in Warsaw, twas dark and I sought the light swith when suddenly I touched the "thingy where you put the plug in" (kinda odd having that just above the switch..) anyways I had a 220 Volt shock: Ouch-eek in less then a second.
