| | 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? |
