Think I zapped my MB last night. Was plugging in a USB cable into the slot in the side of my case, think I felt a zap in my fingers but for sure heard crackling coming from the speakers of the spare computer on the desk next to it. I realized my computer was 100% unresponsive. Hit reset and the machine didn't even post, no HD or monitor activity. DVD drive flashes and makes some clicking noises but does not read a disc. All case fans are also running but just on high all the time. My first though is ruined MB but anyone figure there is any chance that I could have damaged the power supply?
A zap like this could wind up affecting just one part of the machine or the whole dam thing. I am not looking forward to seeing how much this is going to cost me.
Any suggestions on where to begin with diagnosing the issue? MB's are not a ton of money and clearly something is damaged, is this the logical place to start?
