Computer on fire (and is still ok after that)

[Stan Marsh]

Today when I was sitting at my desk in the lab, all of a sudden I saw fire in my PC! So I cut off the power in a hurry, and opened the case to check it.

Then I turned on the power, and to everyone's surprise, it started up normally like nothing happened!

At that moment I was totally ... Oh, I can not describe that complicated feeling...

There are scorches on the mainboard, but nothing seems to be damaged by the fire. Thank god my data and programs are still there.

You need to assume it is no longer safe.

Oh wait, you didn't say it was a laptop. That's about all that I use.

That was cool Ivan.

I don't think it will be for Stan though...

For me, yeah!

Wow... the notion of that happening on my crotch is really quite an arresting experience.

Anyway, Ivan is right and you should STILL assume it isn't safe until you at least get the power supply checked out. Anything beyond that would just be damage to the computer... oh, and be careful of the silane gas residue, it's not good for you (to put it mildly).

Thanks, the computer has been sent for check. Even though it still works after the fair, I guess no one dares to use it.
