Umm, have you tried to look in side your laptop? Describe what you see. And model name please

You plug in a USB killer?

Just a USB cable or was there a device on the other end of it?

What type of device - - make and model of device if applicable.

I think you fried up your board. Least, it is the USB connection and power supply!

 

[Guest]

Oh i think you fried some of your connectors crisp

If the other posters are correct, that'll mean a new motherboard at least.
