Ever wonder what happens when you stick metal objects in USB ports?

[dmurray14]

If this is something you've been wondering about for a while, have no fear - I have the answer for you...

brought to you by dmurray14's boredom. enjoy.

edit: two more for your enjoyment:

you get this when hotplugging a PCI card

you get this when f'ing with the solder points on a video card

edit: hell, here's another!

you get this when you remove memory while the system is on

sweet!

 

[DivideBYZero]

Not enuff sparks! MORE SPARKS! :|

 

Haha, cool...but does your USB port still work?

 

[Shooters]

I'm hoping this was on a motherboard that was already on its way out. Also, does the port still work?

 

[dmurray14]

Yeah, the USB port still works - I downloaded the pics and movie from the same port! Nope, the computer wasn't on it's way out....just a slow day. We were getting some nice big sparks earlier, but as soon as the camera came out the sparkies got a little shy I guess. The computer actually shuts itself down before we could really short anything out - oh well.

nothing happens. I made it once on a computer and everything was working perfect afterwords.

It wouldn't affect him much, considering there's hardly anything to chop off to begin with.
