I don't think were are going to be able to provide an accurate answer on this. Your going to have to determine what POPPED. It sounds as if something shorted out when you hit the power so what you need to do is meter out your components find out whats blown and if you can find suitable replacements and decide if you have the skills necessary to do so. Now I may be totally off track here, but going by the description, thats what it sounds like.

i think it was the drive. you probably overpowered it and it popped. or the cable was up side down

It could be other things. You'll have to figure out by yourself what happened


Good Luck
