Question:

can i put power cable back in computer? is it safe?

i'm using an older mac at uni to do illustration, i pulled the computer round to put a tablet in it and the computer shut down, there are about 20 computers in the lab....the power cable at the back that is connected to the monitor is loose, i tried to put it back in but it's crackling....can i get electrocuted from putting it back in? i can't shut down all the computers so there's still electricity running through...thanks

Answer:

let's hope it's not shorting out, follow the path of the cord to where it terminate it should plug into a strip outlet on the floor or against the wall once found uplug it ,plug the power cable into the monitor then plug in the other end with the monitor off
no prob... no need to b scared jis put the cable in... i do this job all day long.... i knw alot abt hardware... trust me nothing wud happn
This is not a prob man i also use my monitor with a wire which is worn out from one terminal all you have to put some electric tape on it
souds scary but its not - plug her back in your good to go!!!!
