SO...

I just killed the front side USB2 ports on my new computer.  And my Fighting stick which was plugged in, AND my rgb controller.  And possibly damaged my Motherboard.  

I unplugged my Tablet from charging and the wire fell on the metal ring of my cable modem line, causing a huge electrical arc (loud pop, yellow sparks in the air..) connector is charred and everything plugged in to my front USB2 is dead.  My fans are stuck in rainbow lighting mode and Im really very very angry.

The rgb controller not working (doesn't show up in software at all, fans stuck in rainbow) has me super worried that my mobo might be damaged.  I might be able to frankenstien something with my old case to check the other usb headers.. blargh.

I'd be mad too. At least you aren't injured. I'd be cautious around it.

Well I know the American power plug system, that is a accident waiting to happen. Hope you are lucky and it's just the USB port. The good news is, that is very likely. In your PC AC unit are safe guards for stuff like this. So there is hope (^^)

F Good luck with whatever you need to do!

Bring the computer to a local repair store (not best buy) to check up the computer to see what works and doesn't and go from there on getting new parts.

Blackrat

Probably best plan yeah. Gotta wait till stupid "the plague" dies down before I can find one though.

Connery Cateni (ccateni)

shouldn't be too hard, try to find it while you stuck at home. I found mine by google search and I had them figure out what was wrong with my desktop and I got the stuff replaced and it works now.

Jarrod

Well....Best Buy isn't THAT bad. I mean I don't use them for major repairs but removing laptop hard drive and stuff... will do them.

What's wrong with our power system?

So it hit that little metal connector you see on most cable wires? I was not aware that would make such a spark but I'll be careful with stuff like that.
