When I was dismantling the audio setup from my Zen recently I disconnedted all the wires from the amp except the power cable and the ground wire. Now the battery side power cable for the amp was still connected and I disconnected the amp side cable and kept it aside. As soon as it touched the car body a welding like flame came out. Got brave and pulled the wire and managed to tape it up. Immediately disconnected the battery side of the power cable. The zen was sold with some welding spots in the boot LOL

Lesson learnt: Always disconnect power supply cable from the battery before playing with the equipment.
