One of my Usb ports were shocked

[tony245]

Hi , I have a haf 932 and one of my front usb 2.0 ports were damaged when i tripped over the printer usb cable and it bent one of the little pins , so i took the end of a led mechinal pencil without the led sticking out and kinda tryed to bend it back , their was 2 very very tiny electric shocks then bigger , they were orangeish. Ik im an idiot i forgot to turn of my computer while doing this. But nothing happened , the usb ports kinda restarted them selves and thats it. since then i disconnected the usb cable from the port to my mobo . Should I be worried ? Nothing seems to have happened

The USB ports have a current limit on them of 500mA which can cause a small spark if shorted. The USB ports are designed to withstand this type of abuse so I would not worry about it.
