Where were you BEFORE I did this to my PowerBook? Luckily it only took out my right-side port. Unluckily, this cascaded into a problem that took out the driver controller on my motherboard 2 days later. Super-unlucky was that when this went, so did the built-in 80GB HD I had painstakingly set up and on which I had some original content that's not easily replaced...
