    A patron was working on one of the computers here at the library and all of a sudden the screen went black?? There was an orange light on the computer. It was not on. I shook the mouse and everything. I unplugged it and the light stayed on for a few more seconds before going off. I plugged it back in to see what it would do and the orange light came back on before I even touched the on button. I took the cover off and it smelled like it was burning. Any suggestions?

    Welcome to MajorGeeks. It sounds like the power supply died in the computer. Hopefully it did not kill anything else. Do you have another power supply to test in the computer?
