umm... arent u supposed to unplug the power cord from the socket as well before tinkering with the computer innards? this wouldnt have happened either if u unplugged the power cord first! so unplugging the power cord is not just for esd protection as well it seems!
well lesson learned... the topic title should be:"always unplug the power cord from the computer before tinkering!!"
well for me, i tried that before and that doesnt work for me. after tinkering, i either get power on switch latch problems whereby the mobo doesnt power on from the power switch like there's no power connected at all. i have to hold down the power button from like 15 secs to 1 min to get the system to power on or the second issue is that it manages to power on luckily but i get cmos errors on post. both are symptoms of esd dmg to the mobo. so unplugging the power cord from the socket is the only thing that works for me. i have like 2-3 dead mobos to teach me that lesson from lol!
