I have a dell inspiron laptop with 8 GB of ram and a 1 TB hard drive. I recently plugged a usb to Robotic arm interface cable from my laptop to the robot. My laptop was in sleep mode, and right when I plugged the cable in, the power light switched off. I let the laptop cool with the battery out for 15 minutes, because it smelled strongly of smoke around the laptop. now, whenever I switch it on, the air smells like smoke and my laptop starts clicking softly, in addition to not turning on. The specs are
Tri-Boot:Windows 7 home premium, Backtrack 5 R3, Ubuntu 12.10
8 GB ram
i5 processor
1TB hard drive
15 inch display
this is a fairly new laptop, I bought in in november 2012. Could you please provide some insight, if not answers into this problem
