The aftermath
Upon opening up the computer formerly known as slartibartfast today, it was made apparent that the power supply was fried, as were three capacitors between the processor and the ports on the back of the case. These capacitors were leaning over and were pretty badly singed on the top.
The hard drive works perfectly fine and is currently running the “new” slartibartfast off of some older hardware. My current setup is kinda weird… the old hardware doesn’t have a sound card, and I’m far too lazy to move the one that (supposedly) works from former-slarti, so I’ve mounted my music directory onto my Eee PC via sshfs and hooked up the speakers to that. It works.
I guess I need to go parts shopping again. *sigh*
