finger in ethernet socket

hello, yesterday i was connecting something to my laptop and i accidently stuck my finger in the ethernet socket, feeling a small electrical discharge. i tested it afterwards and it wasn't damaged, but later i got my first blue screen while using the laptop, i wonder if it could have anything with what i did, could i have damaged the motherboard or something?

 

What did the bluescreen say? Should be a 9 digit error code. Something like 0x000000000

 

Code:

i don't remember, but i saved this information after rebooting, hope the spanish doesn't matter

 

Uhh...don't stick your finger in the ethernet port?

Google your BSOD error code as stated above.

 

C:\Windows\Minidump\042211-8689-01.dmp

You could upload that here and let one of the more motivated/ experienced users have a look.

 

i know, it was an accident.... i will look for the bsod error code

more info i got with a special app, is bug check code the one i should google?

 

Ethernet should not shock you. It does not have enough power. Make sure your computer is correctly grounded.

0x0000000A is typical a hardware issue or incompatible driver. Did you do anything else except stick your finger in the ethernet port? New mouse, usb stick, external hard disk, or updated a driver?

 

What may have happened is he had a static charge himself and it discharged to a ground through the ethernet port. Here's hoping that it didn't take any circuitry with it.

 

the only new thing i did was actually connecting a cable to this ethernet socket, because i use wifi mostly

yes i am worried this is what happened... how can i know for sure?

i've had no more blue screens until now

 

It's probably just coincidence.
If it's the first time, I really wouldn't worry too much (it is Windows after all).

 

You cant really know for sure. Pitabred is a bit of a genius around these parts, I can vouch for what he says. I shocked myself on my old laptop after having a bit of charge on myself. We have our entire floor covered in fluffy carpets <3 here.

I don't think you would have taken anything with the discharge. Just check the RAM and make sure it's working properly. Common BSOD is a RAM issue, hopefully you didn't blow one of your sticks, or both.

How long after did you get the BSOD?

 

But he also said that was the first and nothing since. I've belive it actually has nothing to do with 'the finger in ethernet port'

 

ok, i've been told it was a driver related bsod, so nothing to worry about. sorry if the ethernet thing sounded silly , thanks for your time

 

"Doctor, it hurts when I do this...."

"Well, stop doing it......"
