I think I may have gotten one of those faulty power cords or something. I was just playing some games with my friend and it started making noise and smoking. We opened it up to see if anything was wrong and I saw one of those cylinder things were broke so I taped it back. And I decided to remove the heat sink because it looked like dead weight to me, and I wanted to try water cooling it anyways. After we put any a water balloon in there we closed it up and tried playing again, but it only worked for a couple of seconds and then the balloon popped. Please tell me if there is anything I can do to fix it me and my friend are trying to beat some n00bs on halo 2 and my mom will kill me if she finds out it was broke :( here are some pics

Your board is toast, just put some butter and jam on it.
Good luck explaining it to your mum, just say that your younger Brother/sister/cousin/dog did it.
