Can Mobo shorting cause damage to system/components?
I wanted to ask if system short circuiting can cause any internal damage to parts or the whole mobo or any other components?
My motherboard was shorting and my system wouldn't turn on and all I could hear the first time I pressed the power button was a little spring type noise ( but only the first time of every time the psu was restarted).
After I realised that I wasn't using the motherboard spacers, a very novice and careless error.
Eventually when I did get the system going it gave me some errors on the boot screen:
"CMOS Checksum Error"
"Bad Keyboard/Interface error"
"No Keyboard Detected!"
And surprisingly enough my keyboard wasn't working. I have already looked in to why the checksum error could be present (due to reinstalling the battery in order to clear the cmos).
However I am puzzled by the keyboard error. Do you think that if a system is shorting and hence failing to start completely, can cause the ps/2 ports to fry or any other components? Do any of you guys know of this being the case?
I would really appreciate any help in answering my question.
Thanks in advance.
If needed. system specs.
