Is this one of those "non-critical machines don't need UPSs, but we're going to leave them powered up over the weekend anyway" deals? Because if so, my commiserations - I had much the same experience last month. Fortunately, it only fried 2 power supplies - although, one of those was attached to a UPS, which is how we learned that the UPS was faulty too.
I have explained the importance of powering down at hometime, but those extra couple of clicks at the end of the day are effort, y'know...
Also, I deal with a lot of ribbon cables in my job, and the only times I've seen that happen before are when corrosion has rust-welded the pins to the connector. So yeah - impressive.
