Losing or breaking electronics.

iamstop

I lost an Olympus Tough4 waterproof camera in a river over the summer and I just put a Galaxy S7 through the wash last week. :rolleyes:

What electronics have you lost or broken recently?

I am missing a personal locator beacon. Ironically named 'FastFind'

Not recently, but I got a Samsung Galaxy 2 on a 2 year contract (+ insurance) and left it in the back of a taxi 3 months later.
Tried calling, but someone turned it off.

I reported it stolen, but the Garda didn't create a PULSE number, so I couldn't claim the insurance.

Never bought an expensive phone again.

I did the old 'drop and kick' one too many times and now need a new smartphone.

I've gone through more ps4 controllers than I care to remember. Beer and being shlt at FIFA usually has me throwing stuff at walls. Oh and once I missed the wall and destroyed a Sony Smart TV.

Been through at least four sets of headphones this year. None were expensive, but it's ****en annoying.

Not recent, but I once flipped open my Motorola flip phone - all cool like - and flipped it straight into the Liffey.

I haven’t done that in a while, but still don’t have a great track record with phones..

I'm an alcoholic, now in recovery, and there was this one type I puked on my laptop keyboard. They were able to repair it. F***, that was bad.

Thumb in wrong place....screen gone. :(:(:(

I put in over the vent for a day. Still nothing. Will see if the SD card is still working.

The Continental Op

Keep having USB keys that I've left in my pockets go through the washing machine and the thing is they still work :eek:

Put a brand new set of Bose headphones that were in a hoody pocket in the washing machine once.

I must have lost or broke about 10 pairs of headphones over the years, between leaving them places, getting caught in the car door as happened a couple of times and putting a pair of Sennheisers through the wash.

Before we go any further, can we pause to congratulate the OP for correctly spelling "losing" instead of using "loosing". That horrid mistake is far too common these days.

Well done again.
