And it's also not charging anymore. The smoke kind of gives it away that there's a problem. Any ideas? |

oh fuck Iffin it's not charging anymore, that usually indicates a failure in the power system. This could be one of several components, but from what you've described (smoke smell, etc.), you've got some electrical arcing going on, which means a broken circuit somewhere along the line. I hate to say it, but that's something that can only really be fixed professionally. It was kind of my old computer's problem. Smoke scent and all.

They don't. I've tried 8 different charge cables. It's the adapter that's fried I think. As that's where the smoky smell was coming from. |
