Burnt Sata connection

Hi,
I have just had a Sata drive start to smoke and melt the power connection. Will it be safe to connect another Sata drive to the PC or should I have it checked by someone first?

Honestly I would throw it on your desk, plug the computer into a power bar stick a new cable in and turn it on, if it starts to smell like burning plastic turn it off (via power bar as to not danger yourself)

History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.
