I was just starting my gcp, and I took it apart. I removed all the case, and the metal frame, before plugging the disk drive into the motherboard and powering up the system. It was working fine, but I tried to turn it on again, and the fan went on, but the system didn't. Did I fry the rev c mobo becuase it was touching the dd circuitboard? When I get another do I just put a plastic sheet insulator in between the two circuit boards to prevent it from happening again? any help would be great. Thanks!

Im a noob, btw

Yes you will need an insulator between ANY circuit boards.

K thanks. And what should I use for that? Just any thin layer of plastic? Or do I need something special?

Thin piece of plastic, electrical tape , etc. Any thing thin and non-conductive.

If I use tape can I just put it directly on the circuit boards so that they aren't touching? Thanks a lot.
