So I was working on a clients laptop where his hard drive was corrupted and wasn't loading Windows. I went through the process of elimination and decided I'd plug it into my test bench and load Linux up. After I plugged it in I the test bench and turnt it start smoking pure white smoke from the cable and I could see a bit of fire starting. Quickly I turned it off at the PSU and went to unplug the cable from the hard drive. The cable was very warm. Any ideas I'm thinking a short somewhere?
