A buddy gave me a 4 slot usb reader. as soon as I plugged it into my usb port, my computer shut down. I removed the usb and it powered back on but it would not respond or show anything on the monitor. I unplugged it for a few minutes hoping it would reset but it did not. The fans run and it powers on, but it will not boot up. Upon further reveiw I realized the usb reader calls for a 5v- 2.5 a power cord. I used a 12v 1000ma power cord. I am sure this is the cause of the problem. I opened the CPU to see if I could find a blown fuse or evidence of something burnt up but I see no fuses, nor do I smell or see anything burnt. Any help as to what my next step should be would be greatly appreciated! I really don't want to take it to the shop. Any other recommendations? Thanks!
