  • USB Port fried my flash drive?

    I was deleting some stuff from my flash drive when I started to smell something burning. I noticed the smell was coming from the USB port so I pulled out the flash drive. When I pulled it out, my flash drive was melted and I severely burned my fingers in the process.

    What would cause this to happen?Is there something wrong with the motherboard? Or is it just the USB port?And would it be safe to turn the computer back on? I'm typing from my laptop because I don't know if i should turn on the computer.

    Any help would be much appreciated.
