Drop It

Dropping your computer is probably going to shake some of the components up that live inside of your machine. It might not obliterate your computer, but it’ll definitely do some damage depending on the drop. Some insurance policies state that if your computer naturally breaks you aren’t covered, but if you drop it on accident and it’s your fault then you are. This is why so many people decide to ‘accidentally’ drop their machines. Just make sure you read through your policy thoroughly first.

Spill Something On It

If you always leave a drink close to your computer, you’re already pretty close to causing some damage. Spilling something on your computer could definitely cause irreparable damage. Whether it’s a glass of water, sticky orange juice, or coffee doesn’t matter. Whatever you spill is likely to cause problems. ​

Pets and kids don’t have much concept of what can damage a computer and what can’t. They can cause a hell of a lot of damage to things like computers, even when they’re not trying to. If you want to ruin your computer, all you really have to use is let a child use it.

This is causing cracks in the screen which are really expensive to fix. A real apple service would be the best way to get a macbook fixed.

Dodging Updates

Magnet to the Hard Drive 

It's not an old wives tale! Simply put..don't do it. Keep them away! 

I'm guilty of this as I type!If you don’t update and maintain your computer properly, it won’t be long before you notice it slowing down. Eventually, it might give up on you all together. This can be very stressful when you don’t want it to happen. If you want to give your computer a slow, agonizing death, this is likely the best way to go about it. ​

Put it in the Microwave 

If all of the above failed and you STILL want to destroy your computer...this is a last resort.
