This was an interesting one, it was the power supply for an external powered USB hub, which following a loud bang let out the magic smoke when first plugged it in. For this one, the smell of dead electronics lasted most of the day. These photos where taken during the autopsy.
This smoke release was so energetic that it did the following to the bottom of the case. And this is one of the best electronic skid marks I have seen in quite a while.
