Uhmm, you connected the power to ground?

You need to replace at least the part that smoked.
I hope your soldering skills are good.

You connected the wires in the wrong way so more than likely you have blown the whole system so you will have to get new equipment sorry to tell you this.

The problem is that you applied power with reversed polarity....
Your power supply is toast, at the very least. It's possible the whole PC is reduced to a paperweight.

Rather than identifying wires by their color, it's a far better idea to refer to them by their function (+12v constant, +12v switched or ground).

Oh yeah. QUIT CROSSPOSTING!
