Most computers run on smoke. Yours must be one of the "orange stuff" experiments..

Same principle applies though. When the smoke/orange stuff has escaped, the show is over. If it were me I'd get it seen to (get the orange stuff recharged,iow) as sooner or later you will run out. Probably in the middle of the night on a long weekend. 8^)==
