Flip the Switch
Switch the power off prior to adjusting anything. This thought is to continuously be your initial step, any time you work with gadgets. Don't for even a moment open the PC case except if the power is switched off. Check to see if you've turned off the case's lights and not just put your computer into hibernation if you see any.A mechanical switch on the back of many power supply units cuts off power to the device and, ultimately, the rest of your PC.

There is probably still power flowing through it, which means that it is connected to your computer as well.
The question of whether the computer was turned off before has been resolved.
Stay away from Smoke and Scents
See smoke coming from the power supply or inside the case, or smell a consuming or patch fragrance? If so:1. You need to stop doing that.
2. Take the computer's plug out of the wall. Avoid waiting for it to stop working.
