I am working on the machine and the powersupply just so happened to go out. So I ordered them a new powersupply, took the old one out replaced it with a new one .. certified and everything ... hooked it up just like the old one.. powered up the machine and the burner begins smoke.. everything else worked fine .. the burner decides to smoke

that's perfectly normal ...a few flames are well within specs also. Yeah ...I'd go with faulty CD-RW on that one.

Will that cause the powersupply to go bad .. I know its possible but I have never seen it before .... I mean I dont want them to think I fried it .... which I dont think I did cause i hooked it up like have hooked up the last 25+ i have installed ...

edit: the cdrw smells like burnt toast, I opened up the old power supply and it looks like you set off 4th of July inside.. stupid writer ... man sometimes it sucks to work on computers..

I don't know ...power's not really my thing. I'd be more willing to guess that the old power supply took out the CD-RW when it blew and that adding power back just let you know how bad the CD-RW was fux0red. But that would just be a guess. It's amazing that the old power supply didn't kill the HDD or the processor though ...they seem to be more sensitive to power then a CD burner. I would replace anything that smells bad ...my general rule of thumb. It works for everything ..milk, trash bags, standing water and women.

Did so, but didn't know the cd-rw was wrong until after the parts came in. I put the new powersupply, and new mobo in. The old mobo wasnt bad just the powersupply. I just added power back to the cd-rw after I made the change of powersupplies and it smoked. My guess is the ps took out the cd-rw .. bad shot on my behalf makes me look like I fried it... but i didnt do nething.

Apparently mobos are fairly tough. I fried a power supply (by touching the circuit-board on the bottom of it with my finger while it was running...couldn't concentrate for the rest of the day  ) but the mobo was unharmed.
Of course, the first time I built a comp for myself, I had the voltage switch set to 230 instead of 115...that fried the mobo. And the RAM.

I have done that, except it was more like i couldnt concentrate for a week. We are taking classes on how to repair psu's. I have been shocked by a computer to many times to count. I sorta think I am addicted...

115/60 ain't that bad, it's when you hit three phase, higer voltages, that hurts. you don't know "can't concentrate" until you get zapped by about 330 three phase. (industrial grade pump motors).
It knocked me three feet back, and on my ass. and that was just a brush with the contacts. I couldn't see straight for a day...

We worked with three phase 208 and 440(?) I think it was in Industrial Motors class... had to have the hours so I took it. We had to do lock outs and follow procedures to the t. I didn't get shocked with it thank goodness..

I think just_dave got one of the really good cd-rw drives. You know, the one that comes with the optional HIGH power laser. Of course it will smoke a little, that laser will burn shit up!
