I saw a strange light briefly through the grill on the fan on the back of my laptop. Then it began shooting smoke out of it. Quite a bit of smoke. I kicked the plug out of the wall and then stared at my new fire-starter, and wondered what the fuck had happened.

Thank the gods I scraped together the funds to allow me to extend the warranty.

Dude, that's just nuts. Didn't you just get that thing back from the shop a month or two ago?!

[eyebite]

Yeah, and it ran like a dream. Until I had some kind of nightmare this morning apparently.

That sucks. I'm sorry :(

Sounds like an electrical short in your power supply.

Duh. You let the magic smoke out. Never do that. It's what keeps computers running!

Someone else who understands the magic smoke!
