not again...Ok, so I accedentally put the power connector on my floppy drive in wrong so that the 12v on the cable was connected to the ground on the floppy (over to the right one pin)...dont ask, i got distracted, low light...anyway, so I powerd up and some sparks flew and it shut itself off and I think I smelled a bit of smoke...not good. Unplugged, turned off the PSU, turned off the surge protector, then turned everything back on. heres where the problems really start. As soon as I flipped the power switch on the back of the PSU, the comp turned on. I didn't hit the power button on the front or anything. the fans came on and so did the fan controller, but nothing showed up on the screen (the status light on the monitor changed from orange to green and back continously) and the cd drive wouldn't open. I tried resetting the CMOS, nothing. The good news: The floppy drive and hard drive appear to be working fine (I've got em both in this computer that I'm using to type with).
Help?
