Fell - how far?
Computer - what make and model?
Silver cover thing - ?

What do you do? - You start again and describe what only YOU can see because none of us are clairvoyant. ;)

therefore the repair technician would have to perform a 'laptop open procedure'.....

The innards of a battery pack that has ruptured could look a bit like silvery foil. Lots of it. Or maybe lots and lots of burst capacitors (although I thought they'd be solid these days).

He did say it was on the bottom of the laptop.

Must've been a helluva fall though. ;)

Do you get high-rise flats in Minnesota?

so I know what happened. You dropped the computer and a silver cover thing is the 'brains' of the computer oozing out and dissipating in the air. You need to get it to a repair shop quickly before it all evaporates into nothingness. Once opened in this manner, even a tiny leak will cause the computer to dissipate completely over just a few days. The bleeding out of the guts needs to be stopped by a qualified technician

that is the 'liquid metal' substance first seen in the "Terminator 2" Movie. If the liquid starts to move and form into some sort of Police Officer shape, then do not attempt to service this PC yourself.

I thought that they were too 'unstable' to be released into the general public :0 :0

Some companies these days -- just looking for a buck :0

The SCSI Crystal Ball to get such a clear understanding of the problem here.

Unfortunately my SCSI Interface Broke years ago and the newer USB interfaces just can not pass the required Data fast enough for it to be of any use.

I did however notice that you didn't recommend a Transfusion of the Stuff that is leaking out to allow the computer to last a bit longer so that it is possible to get it to the Intensive Care Unit of the Local Computer Repairer. Bad Scummy for not helping the OP enough. :-q

if I meditate for a few minutes, the ScummyVision takes me to a new place -- to see the problem first hand :D

MOM, my PC is too slow!

funny thing about that commercial is that they are showing a Macintosh laptop and it is showing a BSOD on it's screen.

run around screaming asking what is wrong with my computer and what is this magic silver thing?

by oh smeg

So what about a Transfusion or in your case how about some Confusion? ;)
