Genius!!!i didnt do it intenionally i did it by mistake i didnt knw it would cause tht ?! So plz tell me wht to do im really worried For starters unplug the wire you changed in the PC and replace the fuse in the plug (the one that goes to the power outlet). Unless the PSU has internally fused in which case that's also dead. (Are they still called plugs in the US?) Quote from: basketball7 on April 16, 2011, 01:36:33 PM ... when i turned it on it made this peep sound... Just one short peep or multiple peeps or one long one? At the very least your USB controllers is fried, you would have to replace with expansion card USB's. Most probably though your motherboard (the largest circuit board) is ruined.for the peep sound it made multiple of peeps i dont think its the power supply cuz when i plug the power cable in the wall outlet a little metal piece on the mobo gets hot so i think its gettting some electricity .... And for the usb part i meant on the mobo there is this place where there metal vertical wired going out so u can plug the usb cables instead i put a power supply cable and then when i press the power it doesnt open and also when i removed this cable tht i plugged and i press the power it doesnt work also i just wanna knw if like i can fix it or can someone else fix or i hv to buy a new one :SJust an educated guess but it's beyond repair if you ask me...

I think that you are saying that you plugged one of the power connectors from your PSU into something you shouldn't. What I don't understand though is how? All the connectors are shaped so that you can't plug them into anything they shouldn't be. As for the beeps, I was just curious to know what the original problem was, probably just a loose or faulty stick of RAM by the sound of it.
