[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1158890, member: 56379"] I'm thinking that if you actually haven't smelled smoke...then it wasn't smoke!:) Electrical/electronic "smoke" has a VERY distinctive smell/odor to it...and if you had "computer" smoke...you would have known it. And if it actually was "smoke" coming from your computer...it probably wouldn't be very long before your computer completely stops functioning. I'm thinking you have a REALLY dirty computer...and it should be cleaned ASAP. Don't procrastinate...or you might be looking for a new computer...which as you know...would cost BIG bucks (a lot more than a can of compressed air & a couple hours of your time). Good luck...let us know how things turn out. - Nick [/QUOTE]
