    are you serious? did you have all the power cables plugged in correctly and did you have the xkey wrapped in it's cardboard or electrical tape so it wouldn't ground out?

    You must plugged the cables in wrong or Something was touching your Xbox to do. I remember once with a xenon Jtag I had it had a yellow flame on the dvd cable and I just managed to blow it out before it burnt the board lol.

    (Maybe you plugged In the cables wrong Where dvd cable goes and the Fan Check which ports you plugged them in as there are different pins)

    sata cables should go in and power as well without any problems or issues. also you shouldn't have to tape the cables or anything like that but you should make sure all board edges and traces ARE completely covered. This is where electrical tape would be used.

    looks like you put DVD cables in wrong so it blew fuse or it grounded out in the case. You can bypass the fuse and solder the trace together and xkey will work again.
