Hey,

So I accidentally plugged my AMP "External Speaker" into my macbook. on the back of the amp it reads "External Speaker Minimum Speaker Load 4-ohms".

There are a number of different outputs on my AMP, Instead of plugging the cord into the plainout put I plugged it into the External Speaker output. So I am guessing a electrical current was sent straight to it.

The moment I plugged it into the Mac the Laptop immediately shut down. I then turned it back on and noticed that whenever I played the guitar the screen went fuzzy.( I know I am an idiot). I then realized what I did and unplugged everything.

Thankfully everything still works, the only problem: When I plug in headphones I only get sound through the left ear.

I am guessing I ****ed up the hardware in there and I will have to replace something to get it working again?
Any advice, help, thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thank You
Rioch
