I purchased an inexpensive ($25) CDROM drive made by MSI.
I installed it (changing out the old one that went dead).
It worked for a few minutes, then smoke started comming
from the computer. After investigation I discovered that
the insulation on the speaker wire had been melted away. I
did not do anything except change the CDROM, drive the
speaker wire had ben installed one year before and was
working fine. I needed the machine up and running so I
purchased a new motherboard, power supply and CDROM Drive
re-fitted everything else and now it's up and running. Any
ideas on what happened? Are that old motherboard / power
supply still usable?
thanks
