    It is very possible the mobo shorted out. You'd pretty much have to take it all a part and look for burnt soldier.

    Very likely you burned some traces on your board. This is not a repair for do-it-yourselfers regardless of skill. Now its decision time - do you send your machine out for repair knowing that board replacement will run you $300-400 or do you buy a factory refurb at $399.

    ;)
