Solve : Can you short a firewire??

1.	Solve : Can you short a firewire??
Answer» It seems no one can help me with my video connection problem, but can anyone answer this? Is it possible to short a firewire? Or is it possible for a virus to hurt a video camera through a firewire?any wire could / can be shorted but I doubt THATS your case, something ELSE like your motherboard would be affected* did you post something earlier about the camcorders and 2 pc's / mac ?yes firewire can short and be screwed , i was asked to LOOK at a guys computer, it went on for about a minute then shut down, I opened the case and it was like an oven in there. The firewire card was untouchable so hot it was almost glowing, especially the chip, when i used a magnifying glass to look at the connections, i could see a bluish tint on the metal, he had tried to connect usb to the firewire, why he could not explain, but the card went in the bin, it seems that many people try to put usb and firewire plugs into the OPPOSING plug holes, not a good idea.
