The spark your talking about. It's normal. Happens with my motors and stuff all the time. I wouldnt worry about it, unless sparks are coming from your electronics.

This is called arcing. You're just seeing the mass flow of electricity jump from your brushes to your comm.

For a little entertainment.. what you don't want arcing to look like..

Does that even have anything to do with the topic? If you are having computer problems you should just serach on Google or make a new thread here explaining your problem. With a better description.
