i shorted out GPO 1 on my lk02425 pc (please don't ask) , now its putting out a constant 7.1V...guess GPO1 is effectivly fried eh?

If you fried ONE GPO to ground, then the GPO would be blown up.

V=IR
12V = I * 0 ohm (GPO has no resistors unlik on a LK202-25 or so)

I = 12V / 0 ohm

which equals infinite current, thuss blowing up the GPO.. this lesson has been brought to you be the letter A...

and by the letter S, for Stupidity in shorting it out in the first place
