Title: Power supply
Post by: Amir Cheema on November 28, 2004, 11:51:26 PM
Well yeah um due to one act not of my will my computer station was deesmbled just to scrap a plug. Now I was in a rish and due to the most unfourtunate consequences I stuck it into a 220 voltage plug when I was supposed to use a 110. I know this but I forgot when rushing. I heard small sizziling noises and pops then smoke billowed from the tower. Now I would liek to know what blew up so that I may replace that one part instead of the whole computer. Mind you the computer is not but 2 days old.

And yet you have been so uncareful... Send whatever's left of your computer to me and move to a cave where you can be of no harm to modern technology...

Test all your hardware individually to eliminate damaged parts.
