motherboard connection (Score 1)

oh if only it were just the power supply that would die...

From what I can determine, a dust bunny wedged itself between the power cable and where it connects to the motherboard.

I came back to my computer that still had the powersupply humming merrily along, and a scortched/melted plug..

thankfully no major damage was done to the computer (or apartment ;) I cleaned the contacts, put a new powersupply in (one without a melted/scorched power plug) and all was right with the world...
