MacBook on crack
Last night I stupidly fell asleep with my computer open on my bed. My twin-sized bed.
This morning at around six, completely unaware of the presence of my computer, I turned on my side to stretch and reposition, when “CRASH!” I immediately knew what had happened and was almost too scared to peer over the side of my bed to find out what had resulted when my MacBook came face-to-face with the tile floor below.
Bad news: the display cracked and is now completely unreadable. (See: photo above).
Good news: the computer was asleep, and seems to be working fine, so I am assuming nothing terrible happened on the inside. Also, I have an external monitor, which I am using as I type this, therefore I can still use my computer until I figure out what to do.
Bad news: Apple stores everywhere are closed for remodeling, including the two located near me.
Sigh.

Reasons why sleeping with your computer is never a good idea.

Aww man! Sorry to hear that! I’m rarely if ever, find myself in bed with my laptop but now I know not to do it.

Sad. My friend drop his powerbook once but it was alright nothing bad really. I used to fall asleep with my powerbook on my bed as well but i was lucky enough that i didn’t push it to the ground.

Ouch. Sorry. I’ve fallen asleep with mine on the bed before, and it always freaks me out the next morning when I imagine something like this happening.
Good thing you have an external monitor, at least. :)
