The motherboard and display should be fine, the stupid plastic is going to be the melty bits.

Ehn, it's just a Lenovo. *bought one specifically because they're too ugly to get stolen in Europe*

Lucky you didn't set the car on fire. Many laptop batteries are sensitive to heat, and anything with Lithium goes up pretty dramatically.
genepoolboy
Yeah look what happened to my keyboard
MySushi
You need to put your electronics in an ice-box if you are going to park outside in a hot desert

TIL that's how you destroy a ThinkPad!

oh, that poor ThinkPad!

Or don’t go to Arizona

IF this were real the LCD would be literally bleached and the keys would be fine.

My first thought was that you tried to run Crysis on it.

Arizona sunlight did not do that, lol.

You could have left a window cracked and put on its favorite radio station.
PandAnomoly
By the by, if you left every window in a car completely open, would a dog be ok in there?I mean she could just jump out, right?
jetact12
This works when it's 80°. Not when it's 115°
snoozer
Be careful with that because a cop might drop some crack thru the opening and bring him to his favorite station

At that point pour gas on the car, light it, and walk away.

and if the sun was a cop you could designate your car a school so it wouldn't enter

Only for one hour though

It's just 3 hrs at a Walmart. Nothing could go wrong
TheFuckYounicorn
Yeah, but It'd get shot.

and that is why you never put mayonnaise on your gonads before entering the shriners lodge.

Did you try turning it off and back on again? Tech support tells me that always fixes the problem.
cgabgedchabbachange
Restart AND gpupdate /force. Looks like user can remedy situation so I'm resolving ticket.
JoeT85
I'm an IT professional, and I'm sure that because your virus software needs to be updated.

No, everyone knows if you soak logs in wood, then you soak computers in laptop.

HowMuchWoodCouldAWoodDuckDuckIfAWoodDuckCouldDuckWood
There's a CMOS reset button on the bottom of the laptop. Try that
bhazz
You could try forcing an unexpected reboot.
DrDred
It still works. ThinkPads are fucking tanks.
Hammertulski
These and the late 90s Toshiba Satellites held up some incredibly critical infrastructure for a while.
DrDred
I still have a Satellite. Still works great. Running Ubuntu. Logging in is like time traveling. So many photos.
DrivingTheBus
I have one that was still running when the screen broke at 7yo. It's sitting in the closet. I should pr repair it and ditch this POS HP.
Hammertulski
I do as well, I wonder what shade of cream it’s turned now. It’s in storage along with my Magic-Link which is becoming Smithsonian worthy.
chevymonster
"Magic-Link" Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long, long time.
Hammertulski

So its like a palm pilot but with alil more connectivity power?
RabidDingo
Phoenix should not exist, it is a monument to humanity's arrogance.
DrivingTheBus
On my way elsewhere last weekend I heard a flight to Phoenix get canceled because it was too hot to land there that afternoon. Craziness.
RabidDingo
That is a real thing. Denver grounds regional planes at 102°. Air density is not enough to fly in. I flew to New Delhi, that airport ¹/2
RabidDingo
Was only open at night. Too hot otherwise.
customcartoons
At night it gets down to 99°F
RabidDingo
The hotel we stayed at advertised a chilled pool. No joke.
TimeFoDat
Hell don’t leave your car in Arizona, even the interior can melt in 120° heat with closed windows. That’s a drive-thru-only state.
ProcrastinatorMasturnater
I finally left that drive-thru-only state after 26 years in the heat, I'm so happy.
gesel
هاهاهاهاهاهاها yall goin lern
alpacasaurusrex
A “drive around state” as I like to say. To many fuckin’ psycho rednecks there for my taste.
UsuallySpecial
“Flyover state” is good.
somnif
I used to keep a thermometer in my car when I first moved to AZ. One day it registered over 180F. The next day, the temp probe melted.
TimeFoDat
That’s literally too hot to properly sous vide a steak in a bucket—you’d have to do it in spring or fall I guess.
PunchyFromCleveland
I had my dashboard melt from the heat in Florida, so I imagine it’s even worse in AZ.
Nalianna
Don't Arizona.
Alhambro
That’s right, keep driving and stop moving here
TheOneAndOnlyButtStabber
7,640,796 people would disagree with you. Im gonna go hide in my pool now, enjoy winter and humid summers.
kaoticgirl
I was on severity in Arizona a few years ago and we were stationed next to the hill that causes cars to catch fire from overheating. Sure >
kaoticgirl
Enough we had 2 or 3 car fires while I was there. One of them was towing a trailer of classic cars that all burned up. Pretty sure the >
kaoticgirl
Best answer is don't be in Arizona! Lol this coming from a New Mexican ;)
Isorikk
I live in AZ and never had my car or laptop melt, pretty sure this picture is of a battery failure
TimeFoDat
At 118° outside it’s possible to get plastic-melting temps under the right conditions. Also the heat could have compromised the battery.
Isorikk
In fact, the regular operating temperature of most laptops is up to 200F
thecanadianwhoatethemoose
What part? Sure the cpu can take it for a bit, but they also spend a lot of money making sure that heat is pushed out of the laptop.
TimeFoDat
No that’s the max thermal for the CPU itself, very different than ambient temp of the laptop’s environment.
Isorikk
And don't twist my words to think I'm saying cars don't get above 120F in the sun. I'm well aware they get hotter than that.
TimeFoDat
The CPU can get up to 99°C but that’s short-term & has to be dissipated fast—impossible with passive cooling in a hot environment.
TimeFoDat
The actual components of the laptop like the screen, PCB & keys can’t withstand anywhere near 99°C—not for long anyway.

TheOneAndOnlyButtStabber
As an Iowan who moved to AZ. Id take AZ heat over IA humidity any day of the week. Roasted nuts are better than soggy nuts
catrov
So is an oven.
DukeDarkwood
Dry heat and humid heat are objectively distinct experiences... BUT THEY ARE STILL BOTH HOT. You're just choosing roasting vs. simmering.
Blud4BludGod
Wet heat gets actually dangerous at lower total temperatures. But Arizona is so hot that it's plenty dangerous too.
anengineerandacat
This is the big thing, humidity will have you suffer from heat stroke with less alarm. 91 degrees outside, feels like 110.
somnif
Ah but we've hit the start of Monsoon season. Now it's still 110+F, but also raining. Or haboobing. Or both.
itsimpossibletofindausernamethatisnttaken
I find haboobs fucking terrifying. Which is odd for such a whimsical sounding word.
inok777
Ha! Boob.
ohnonotagain42
I'm not googling that. What is haboobing?
itsimpossibletofindausernamethatisnttaken
Bigass dust storms.
