I wake up this morning, hit the power button on my computer, and nothing turns on. I check the power outlet and the power strip, those are fine. Also, there's a little green power LED on the back of my computer that tells me the computer is getting power.

So I assume the power supply is busted or something like that. I have no idea, but that sounds reasonable to my brain. I'm getting ready to decouple the computer from everything and take it to the repair guy, when I have the dumbest idea ever:

"Pull the power cord out from the back of the computer, blow on it, put it back in."

I did this and now my computer turns on. Does this make sense? Is that a normal expected result of blowing on electronics, they just start working after that? I figured this was a SNES cartridge only thing.
