And that is correct, actually, depending on where you live.

That exact thing happened to me yesterday! But it was the small black rubber thing that’s supposed to be on the bottom of the laptop to hold it leveled or whatever.
So true though,sigh.

I’ve had a GPU processor fall off before.
But what moron THROWS away parts of ANYTHING they want to work. A basic concept of design means that there is no EXTRA part.

Never had it happen to my computer, but it has happened with a lot of other things I find randomly in my room.

What kind of computer do you have? Every computer I’ve ever bought or built never had any “small piece if metal” that was somehow vital to the computer’s ability to run.

OK, I’m going to try to help here. How about those little jumper things? They’re part metal. Or maybe screws? No, never mind, the graph just sucks.

Honestly I can’t think of any computer part that has a small piece of metal on it that can fall off vital or not, unless you somehow dug the fuse out of the power supply. Small pieces of PLASTIC, sure.

Hmm, I have a feeling this happened to said graph-artist. Assuming the one time he threw it away it would be 100:0

Yup. I can’t even begin to imagine what kind of metal piece might fall off of a computer. Or why it would be something crucial to operating it and not look insanely like a piece of electronic goodness.

It’s not like a car, where pieces fall off all the .. oh, not, that doesn’t happen either.

It’s not like a linear accelerator where .. no. Same thing.

It’s not like it’s a .. um .. I can’t think of ANYTHING that vital unidentifiable parts just drop off of and sit there looking like trash. Except maybe my white trash neighbors who have kids like it’s going out of style.

Despite the prevalence of negative comments here, I can totally relate to this. When I tear into something for the first time (and any time after), I obviously know better than the people that built it, so if I throw it away, it can’t be significant. Totally unnecessary.
On the bright side, improvising replacements for expensive and important electronics is so much fun…

No… it’s spelled exactly the same way you just spelled it.

Last time I checked, computers don’t shed. What on earth are you doing to yours, and why aren’t you paying a pro to do it for you? :\

You know what’s funny about this graph? … yeah, me neither.

Worst graph ever? Well, no, I’ve seen worse, but this one is pretty bad.

How could you lose something that important? When you look at it it would look awfully computer related if it was important.

You’re not thinking digitally, my friends. Much like my ex-wife, in this graph things are either on or off. No middle gorund. No quantum decision making here.

I also enjoy the 100% chance that the author becomes aware that the piece of metal, which before had no significance, is recognized to be the culprit. Poorly thought out, poorly executed. Pointless. Oh, and you are a dolt.

Why would you throw a piece of your computer away? Why would your computer have parts that didn’t do anything? You sound like a moron.

By: Spaz

So, there is a 0% chance of noticing that the piece belonged to your computer? Even if you built the thing from scratch? No one ever notices it? Ever? Hmmm…

What metal piece would this be. I have never had anything fall off of my computer.
