1 - Computer caught fire.

2 - Office smoke damage.

That sucks! Some here will blame it on bad karma. ;-)

Was it the power supply catching fire?

I guess - that's what the Fire Marshall said. Kind of a thermal
runaway.

How old was it?

Three years.

Are you going to notify the manufacturer of the computer and/or power
supply? It is useful information for them and may lead to a recall.

Yes I have and they have requested the power supply back for
examination.

Good.



I would also pursue a claim against them to recover damages from the
fire.
This failure and resulting fire is certainly not to be expected as the
power
supply was certainly well within it's expected useful life.

Nah - stuff happens you know?

I'm not the sue type - it really serves no purpose.

Suing is one thing.............making an insurance claim to 'make right'
is
another and there is nothing wrong with it, especially when the product
failed with potential catastrophic consequences.

But glad to see things are back to normal.

And what is the net result? I have a fire on record that required a
claim.

Think my already outrageous insurance bill won't go up?

Please.


A claim against the computer/power supply manufacturer insurance, not yours.
