Posted April 1, 2015 So today this morning, I decided to turn on my desktop, since I wanted to play some games with friends. I usually use speakers when playing with friends, and I use my macbook to skype. My macbook was out of battery, so I had to plug it in the electrical outlet. However, the outlet gave a gigantic spark and fried the tip of my charger. My desktop computer turned off completely when this happened.

Is it possible that my components have been fried? Can someone help me with this situation??

Posted April 1, 2015 a pc should be on its own circuit...or one with very low power draw from other stuff Never plug a PC directly into a wall. You should always plug it into a surge protected power bar. It could have caused damage but if it powers on you should be fine. Just make sure you get a power bar.
