Smoke Game Related

I was just notified about one of my Sister in Laws Sisters house was on fire, it was Minor just the downstairs

Does Smale Damage stuff like TV's, Wii, PS2 & disc base stuff

The PS/PS2 Games is in a DVD Folder
Wii in there Cases

But I don't really know where's the fire spead..I just was told smoke

[JRedmond3]

Not sure but I'd imagine it would have some sort of effect on the cases/inserts if the smoke was close enough. I wouldn't think it would damage the games themselves, you may just have to air them out or something. I've never known a disk to absorb that smoke smell like an SNES/Genesis cart.

I'm sorry to hear about that.

Assuming the stuff didn't actually get exposed to much heat, the worst damage is probably appearance. One of the local game stores around here had a fire and I ended up with some of the affected merchandise. After a good cleaning (contacts, disc surface, laser lenses, etc.), it all worked fine but looked terrible.

Well I'm not there so I don't really know...

Just word to Mouth from my Sister in Law...but I don't think the Mom & Dad cares about the Wii or the PS2 right now, just lucky it wasn't worst

Thanks for the info guys

Gee, my remark about good insurance seems prophetic in hindsight.

Smoke is one of electronic's worst enemies. People who smoke will notice that their electronics will die much sooner that real people's electronics. A fire like you said could cause minimal damage if not a lot burned, especially on a different floor. However if a lot of wood did burn, then the smoke is heavier and could damage electronics instantly. It just all depends on the severity of the fire and what burned.

the smoke particles can become conductive and cause all sorts of problems

yeah isn't it.

I personnaly don't smoke, but it still kinds comes off as kinda arrogant & prejudice.

[synbiosfan]

I saw that too!

As a un-real person, I smoke outside to avoid damage/odors to my collection and house.
