I briefly tried, and it splintered a bit...yeap I figured your AC adapter failed. thats why your machine locked up and goofed up.
common problem. The issue at this point is trying to recap it. the case will shatter like glass when you attempt to snap it apart. Trust me.
15+ years ago when these adapters first started leaking caps, you could easily pry the case apart without breaking it too much.
now, its like glass.
Any suggestions for replacements? Which caps should be recapped, or (if I steal the plug off the end) are there any other known supplies I can just splice the plug onto and get it to work?
Edit: the computer should still work, right? Is it likely the PSU goof-up took anything else with it?
