Hey, I have the same problem exactly, only with an Emachines T2742. We took out the power supply box of the wall, and we have noticed that something rattles in there when the box is turned. It sounds like a small object. Would anyone have any ideas of what it might be, and if it is replaceable?

Exactly what happened to my wife's computer (t2984). After the vacation it just stopped working. When I took out the PSU I saw a capacitor falling. That is lame, that means that the quality control is nonexistent for the PSU. Take your PSU away and do not try to use it. It might fry all other components.
Never the less I replaced the PSU and had the computer working for another year. Last weekend the motherboard died.
Fun lots of fun.
