Is it possible that the motherboard stops working when connecting a LED-light connector wrong?

Hello!

I have a 140mm fan Led light from BitFenix​​. The LED connector is a 2 pin connector ofcourse, which I didnt have plugged in at first and the computer worked flawlessly. Then, when I foolishly tried plugging in led light connectors directly to the motherboard the computer would no longer boot. I removed the LED light and yet the computer was fucked. The computer starts for 1 second and then dies. As if the processor is broken or something. But it must be impossible that the motherboard breaks just because I connected the LED light wrong?? I have searched the internet but can not find any solution to my problem. I connected the Led 2 pin to the 2 pin temerature sensor connectors. The closest to a solution I have gotten is that there has been a short circuit. How do I solve it then? All the other connectors are correctly connected.

Please help!! Thanks!

It does sound like a short circuit. If that's the case, you'll have to RMA your motherboard and get a replacement. I'm still not sure I'm following you on your fan's pin connections, a link or picture would be helpful.

What does RMA mean? I will send a picture tomorrow. But imagine like connecting a usb to something completely different on the motherboard itself and it stops working. Seems very wierd but who knows.
