Weird, burning smell coming out of iMac. Electric noises. Still boots.
Hello. Just now a bad smell was coming out of my 2015 iMac. I turned it off, waited, turned it back on. Heard an electric sound, something like zzzzzz, then it shut off. Still with the smell. After a few hours, turned it back on again, it actually booted to macos, but still with the smell. Any ideas? My guess right now is that it’s some dust buildup that’s burning, however shouldn’t it be totally burned off by now?
I’m thinking it could be the psu short circuiting, but to where? If it’s to the case, I would have noticed something when I touched it, or it would have triggered ground fault protection. Or if its to something else in the computer, how is it still turning on?
