oh if only it were just the power supply that would die...
From what I can determine, a dust bunny wedged itself between the power cable and where it connects to the motherboard.
I came back to my computer that still had the powersupply humming merrily along, and a scortched/melted plug..
thankfully no major damage was done to the computer (or apartment;) I cleaned the contacts, put a new powersupply in (one without a melted/scorched power plug) and all was right with the world...
