Just popped out of my studio for literally 3 minutes, come back in and computer's off. I swear under my breath at it having crashed, so I've likely lost a wee bit of work, but whatever.
Turn it back on and oh.
Oh dear. it's not turning back on. This likely isn't good..
Cue 10 minutes of panic, removing computer from place, so I can check innards, then a hoover to clean interior etc etc.
No burning smells from the inside, so not a fucked PSU or capacitor on the board - could it be just...?
it's the plug's fuse.
PHEW.
Now I've got to find a 10AMP fuse (not sure I've even heard of a 10amp fuse) as all I have are normal 3, 5 and 13 amp fuses. Could probably risk the latter, but given the machine's just chanced it, I think I'd bette rnot push my luck.
Longshort - back up, kids!
