Welcome to Gadget Gore, the place where gadgets come to die!
Give us your crushed, your cracked,
Your broken gadgets yearning to be fixed,
The wretched refuse of your electronics drawer.
Send these, the hopeless, tempest-tossed to us,
We'll post the photos and the share the gore!

Car Eats MacBook
This Gadget Gore was submitted by Russ Svhneck, of Cleveland, Ohio, who writes that a client of his was using it to display the online instructions for fixing the convertable top, on his wife's car. Once the repair was done, he decided to test it out, and the MacBook Pro got caught in the struts, on the back of the car, like a trash compactor!
"This is Apple's new screen for the MacBook Pro..."
This PSP 3000 was, apparently, left on the back of a friend's car - a mistake which left only a fifth of the screen opertaional - ouch!
Thanks for the submission Yopi. In case you're wondering, TechRestore can fix this for $89 and, if you use coupon code "gorerestore" you'll get $10 off!
Here's a video of an iPhone 3GS being shot with a 9mm pistol and then lit on fire.
I can't say that I'd pick this particular music and I'm not about to give up my Mac, but there is some interesting footage. FYI, melting plastics does release toxic gasses and deplete the ozone, so don't try this at home.
This iPod touch was touched just a bit too hard. A small dent on the back reveals how it broke, but I'm thinking that, since the digitizer touch input still works fine, this is basically the best theft prevention method possible! Am I right?
24-hours and $99 later, this puppy's good to go. Better than paying $300 for a new one, for sure!Click here for the iTouch screen repair service, if you need it.
