      it actually happened from the idiot cable guy plugging the modem into my usb port while it was still plugged into my network card and somehow it was too much for the port and popped it

      of course the problem with my service was outside up the pole

                                We fried a mother board here. I mean that thing was smokin'. Wouldn't have minded so much except it was brand new.
