Hi all,

I had a little trouble booting my PowerBook 2400c tonight, though I did get it to boot normally. However, I detected a faint burning smell and now the area around the power plug has a strong chemical odor (hoped it was just the battery). Oddly enough the smell reminds me of some paints I used in elementary school...

Is it a sign that the capacitors need replacing? Or might it still be safe to use? I have my fingers crossed that it is nothing serious, my 2400c is my favorite and one of the few Macs I have left that is not plagued by some issue.

Thanks for reading!
