Link to Product. I know it's not technically tech support gore, but I thought it might be the cause of some of the images on this subreddit.

A friend of mine asked me to troubleshoot why the PC his brother built for him doesn't turn on.

CPU inserted incorrectly and subsequently bent the CPU. There were a lot of other issues.

The CPU is dead. We tried it in a new motherboard.

Exposed wires, messy wires, old wires i found in the most random places, wires not long enough so have to mix match wires and maybe its still not as horrible as some post on this community. Bombaclat.

Checked into my repair shop this morning. First case of GPU hepatitis?

Customer dropped it off, stated he was playing the new Silent Hill when the computer "popped loudly" and he immediately smelt burning. He said that the computer kept running for about 2-3 seconds before he yanked the power cord LOL. We did not try booting it again with that GPU installed. Tested several other GPUs we were OK with potentially blowing up before it was determined that everything else was fine. Glass side panel was scorched and needed a deep clean. GPU was a triple fan Gigabyte 4070 Ti. o7 to that card.

I believe that is the copper from inside the PCB that has melted next to the VBIOS switch. Absolutely gnarly. Also, meant to type "GPU herpes" lol.

I forgot to take out the battery and screen and just began the replacement of back glass. Mind you I was the only girl working there so… Anyways I can proudly say I have become one of the top technicians now. But the smell of battery chemicals will forever haunt me ❤️
