    I also like the hand gestures lol, you seem so frustrated.
    Hehe. Trust me he is! Who would'n be ?

    It is really weird. We just tried with my carpc it did the same..
    Then we tried with my desktop computer at work, and it fried the gfx-adapter !!!!

    So I think that you are correct that it shorts the computer somehow! Whe tried the mesaure the cable for voltage but nothing comes up!

    My friend will send it back for repair/new unit !
    peace out.. cu. sympo

    Replace the cable or send it back to the manufacturer for a replacement. There probably isn't any other fix.
