I fried a laptop today....

[CountDooku]

I was working on a friends computer that I was finishing up. I was plugging into my cable modem through the USB port and I heard a loud pop and that was it. Fried laptop. Now, it's obvious that the cable modem caused it. Anyone think I have a chance of getting the cable company to reimburse me the $460 to replace it?

i doubt, even it's their fault they'll try to make fault is not theirs, but hope for good and good luck

Not a chance in hell.

More than likely, you accumulated a static charge and it zapped your computer when you connected the USB plug. I doubt they'd give you money anyway.
