Can an I-pod destroy your motherboard?

I had some weird problem with my I-Pod Nano (it gave a strange error dialogue box when I tried to charge it) and shortly thereafter (a couple of weeks maybe), the motherboard on my laptop was all messed up and I had to get a new laptop. Coincidence?

I had uploaded all the music from existing CD's so it's not as if I could have received a virus from downloading music.

    yeah I'm with the other poster. the only way you could wreck a motherboard with an ipod is by throwing it at the motherboard. perhaps you got a virus from another source and it managed to feed itself into the ipod

    What i could propose is which you attempt a various ability socket. i think that the floor for the ability connection is defective. additionally get your surge protector checked. The motherboard is the circuit board that can grant the interconnection between diverse aspects that make your pc paintings - Processor, pics adapter, confusing disk, CD/DVDcontinual etc. It additionally performs the placement of offering ability from the SMPS (change Mode ability grant) to the Processor. in the experience that your surge protector would not take care of the pc's ability grant from a surge, probability is which you will be able to finally finally end up with a burnt out motherboard.
