Power light (next to ac input) flashes and clicks

Murphy- It fixed itself. I think the computer just overheated and stayed that way for a long time. My guess is that the processor has an auto shutoff like a lot of laptops, and that it just has a set amount of time before it will come back on (an oddly long one). The only reason i was really worried was the ozone smell. That means melting plastic.

If yours is still having trouble, make sure it stays unplugged for a day, then try to plug it in again. If it works and has the same problem later, your heat sink probably needs to be cleaned of dust and particles. If it won't come back on at all, it might mean a fried processor or something less catastrophic but equally annoying, like a melted diode or something after the power light circuit but before the processor/boot sector.

Mine is doing the same thing... Have you found the solution yet?
