C'mon. While we all have learned from our mistakes, everybody has made a horriffic blunder or two while working on computers
I'll break the ice and say my worst was with a mini 286 motherboard that i bought from a computer show. There was no way i was going to get my money back ( i dont remember how much exactally i paid, but it was alot of savings on my part. Probabily over $200, as the 386 had just come out, as i recall.
Anyhow, i tried to re-seat the eprom chips, and turn it back on.
And, as i recall, they got quite HOT and i swear, there was a light comeing from the quartz windows!
14 years old, and i thought i knew everything :stupid:
