Mystery Dust

Up +96 Down

I used to repair computer for a living. One day, a guy came in wanting to buy the specific RAM we had on sale. I checked and made sure it would work in his computer, it would, and then offered to install it for him, telling him we guaranteed the work in case anything went wrong. He declined, which I was fine with, but then I reminded him to clean out the computer really well before attempting to install it. Three hours later, this lady walks in the door, beelines right to my bench and starts yelling at me, claiming I broke their computer and almost burned their house down. I tell her I have no idea what she's talking about until the husband walks up, then I pull the "Oooooohhhhh" moment. I immediately grab the store manager, have him come over and tell them that since we didn't install it, we are no responsible but that we'll take a quick look to make sure what the problem was. The bring in the PC, plop it on the counter and start talking about how it started smoking when they put in the new RAM and tried to start it. I looked at them before even touching it and asked if they had cleaned it out before the tried putting in the new RAM. The lady responded with, "Of course we did! We aren't stupid!" This was a lie however because I opened the PC to find that, except for the area immediately around the RAM slots, there was enough dust to make a throw pillow inside of this computer, and that some of it, was singed. I pulled the RAM out and saw several of the connectors were black, meaning that dust had gotten in the slot and caught fire, frying the RAM and the motherboard. The lady insisted that it was still my fault, as if I had put the dust there myself...
