ill get right to the point.
i have an ibm thinkpad laptop. this laptop has dual usb ports, one on top of the other. a while back, the pins on the upper usb port got bent because i was forcing a cable in the wrong way. ever since then, when i would plug something into the upper usb port (accidently) the computer would turn off or restart so i would have to boot back up again.
just recently i accidently plugged into the top usb port and the computer turned off. this time it wont turn back on.
im not worried about the bent usb prongs but i really need to get my computer to turn back on.
any help on what to do, what might have gone wrong, what i shorted would be HIGHLY appreciated.
