Back in the late 90s when i used to work for a Schools IT dept we had loads of Fujitsu PCs where the PSUs suddenly started going pop.

it wasn't until a bit more of a close inspection that we realised that the little darlings had been flipping the switch on the back of PSU from 230 to 110V.

Eventually we had to go around every PC with a hot glue gun and glue the switch in place. We ensured that the next model of PC we bought didn't have the switch on the back of the PSU to avoid it happening again.
