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.

I love computers but hate electricity Ive shocked with electricity so many times,hardcore.very funny. IT techies should never attemp to repair a PSU.Stubborn me has abided by this rule untill a week ago trying to repair a psu I did what I did...Kaboom!!! Today Im still living, but never do I repair a psu again. conversion is fine but reairing is like Bin Ladin (god knows where he is) creating a one of his favourates
