Re: Dumbest 'electronic' mistake you ever made
I had an old 286 computer and when it was running, I stuck a flat head screw driver into one of the expansion ports. It displayed some weird messages on the monitor, being a little kid, I thought I was hacking the PC. I remove the screwdriver and insert it into another slot and next thing I know, a big spark and the whole PC just shuts down. It didn't work after that. Or atleast I don't think it did. I was soooo afraid to tell my parents. They just bought it for me (for around 100$). Later on, when I got to know a bit more about PCs, turns out the monitor that I had hooked up went dead (I'm assuming that night). So I guess there's a chance the PC still worked and it was just the monitor that I some how fried.
