This is all I got, I cannot afford a new one. I can't work because of my

would not be able to run a cash register now.

Anyway, we got hit with bedbugs. Two schools got closed over it. It was an
epidemic or whatever.

Anyway, my laptop is infested. I have researched and found that when
exposed to temperatures of 135 F for like 45 minutes it kills them and
their eggs. The government and the companies who do this assure us that
this is safe. It probably is if not running.

I just checked the oven, the lowest it will go is 170 F. Is that safe for
a non, running (at the time) computer ? Could it damage the screen if by
nothing else but expansion and contraction ?

We are about to bring in new matress and whatever, but anything happening
to this laptop IS NOT AN OPTION.

Consider Isopropanol, but check with the handbook first to make sure it
will not damage any plastic components such as the screen. If there are
parts of the laptop that might be harmed by liquid, leave the machine in
a sealed plastic bag with the Isopropanol soaked into an absorbent pad
underneath it and let the vapour saturate it for a day or two.

Be careful to make sure all the vapour has dispersed before switching
the machine on again, Isopropanol is very flammable and the vapour could
explode.

Usual disclaimer: at your own risk.
