What is the stupidest thing you ever did to your amiga?

So, let me get this straight.  Your Amiga fell two stories, landed on concrete, destroyed the case, destroyed the floppy drive, cracked the motherboard, and damaged chip sockets....  And you REPAIRED IT?  damn, that's dedication.

I never did anything too stupid to an Amiga.  

I destroyed some data once by being in a hurry.  I was swapping SCSI drives around, and didn't realize I hadn't properly terminated the chain.  The backup I had made was corrupt.  I didn't realize the termination error or test my backup before reformatting the master, though.  d'oh!

I blew a CIA chip on my old A500 by hot swapping a parallel port digitizer.  Simple enough to fix, though.  Ended up costing me like $10 for a new CIA.  As lessons go, it was a cheap one.

That's about it, really.  I've been pretty fortunate through the years.

I axe-kicked my A500 when Gauntlet II froze up on the eightieth or so level. Either the A500 is very durable, or I was just a wussy kid

The A500's are very durable.  Back in the early 90's, I was at a friend's house, and we were playing his A500.  It locked up on something or another, and he punched it.  Hard.  This was WHILE THE UNIT WAS STILL ON!  

After he settled down, we opened the Amiga and surveyed the damage.  A couple mounts were bent/broken, the 68000 had come completely out and was sitting loose on the motherboard about 5 inches from its socket, the Agnus was completely out, as well.  Denise was half-dislodged, as were several other things.

We just removed all the remaining chips and resocketted everything.  Applied power, and voila, back to normal.  Incredible!  So, apparently under some conditions you can rip a 68000 out of the socket while the machine is running, and not damage anything!  haha!
