    It's quite possible you blew out something.

    You should never make any hardware changes while the system is running or plugged in.

    Hello 7Dreams,

    It doesn't sound good at all. What type of cable was it that you plugged in, and where did you plug it in at?

    Let me get this straight....while the computer was on - you connected a random cable into to what you thought looked like an appropriate socket? And the computer shut down and you saw a electrical arc flash? Is this correct?

    My only suggestion is to unplug the power cable from the wall, disconnect whatever you plugged in and turn it back on and see if it works.

    If it does not, I'm afraid your best bet will be to take it to a computer repair shop as you have likely either blown the power supply or the motherboard.
