Yeah, Iv done the most idoitick so far with a computer yesterday.
I was trying to fix the floppy drive on my old computer, After Taking out the Floppy drive, to see if their was anything wrong with it. There was not anything wrong with it so I put it back in. And then for some reson I took the RAM chip out. Then Put it back in(In the same slot of before), I dont realy know why I took out the RAM in the first place. Now I Seal Eventhing back up. Plug the computer back in, And turn it back on. NOw it wont boot.
So today I discovered that I "Could have" messed up my Mobo, because I was not grounded, and i was doing it on carpet. Lucky for me that most of the hardware part arnt worth much anymore, The Harddrive it self is worth 2-5 bucks. The CPU is not worth much anymore too. And I sould be able to Recover the files on the harddive, And most of the other hardware components which are worth somthing.
lol.

99.99% chance is you DIDN'T short your board though.
Make sure the ram is seated right.
Make sure all cables are connected.
Make sure adjacent ram is seated right.
I never ground myself when working (though I always touch the case if I move to make sure I am not charged) and I have never once had a problem with shorting a mobo...and I have done stuff with mobo's for over 5 years...regularly...

Don't make me slap you, boyo. I'm not the one who may have committed an ID-ten-T error with my system board.
Let's see, having worked professionally on computers for almost a decade now, I'm pretty damend sure I know what grounding is. Having a degree in electronics, I'm also pretty damned sure I know what grounding is. Having read your insulting response to my joking reply, I also know what an idiot is.
"It's a Computer term" indeed.
