one of my old, and i mean extremely old computers like .. exploded the other day.

ago, a long time ago, i was using that computer and the cd tray kept popping out of the pc. so i was like wth? eventually i got so mad and annoyed it wouldn't shut, i just slammed it into the pc. ...and i could never get the cd tray to open/come out again.... =__="

so, i was bored and i wanted to look at the old junk i saved on that pc.

well, i turned it on. (this wasn't the first time i turned it on since i broke the cd tray, btw) and the thing was running..booting..yknow. and i could hear the stupid cd tray try to open... and then all of a sudden, i heard a "boom"..and there was this terrible smell. i just left the room. the pc can't turn on anymore. (the screen's fine? ^o^")

fixable? hahaha ?

and should i leave a computer that "blew up" just sitting there? o_o

You're going to want to check exactly what blew up. Once the coast is clear (like after an evacuation), take the tower and open it up using a screwdriver (undo the screws in the back or side). Take off the outer casing and examine it to see which part blew. If it's a "non-essential" part, then it's fixable. If it's a hard drive, power supply, cd drive, motherboard...um...replaceable, but it'll depend if it can be recovered.

Check first, then we'll see what happened.


[EDIT] DON'T FORGET TO UNPLUG THE COMPUTER FIRST!

lololol, maybe the fan busted? Probably the power supply?

maybe ur cd rom thing got jammed and it couldn't open and it blew up?

Your power supply probalby blew up. Why? I don't know

I guess it could have sit around and just... decided to give up on you after collecting dust for a while.

If you want, like they said pop open the computer. Except just take out the hard drive and install it into your newish computer and use it like a second drive there to see what you have in it

Your motherboard probably combusted.
