Certainly Not The Way To Start A School Year...

Our biggest problem this summer? Not forgotten usernames / passwords, not data and phone cords plugged into the wrong port and not even the complaints from machines running their windows updates after sitting idle for 6-8 weeks. No - those are mild compared to the problem we have encountered this summer. Our biggest problem? Machines that have been idle / unplugged for those 6-8 weeks and are finally powered on and have a power supply that shoots sparks / flames out of them. Think I am joking? Watch below:

Fortunately a majority of these were caught by our tech department before our users came back. However, we did have some slip through the cracks. Guess the small form factors aren't going to cut it anymore, huh?
