I just ran the wrong cable (polarity) in between my walmart battery and Denecke PS-2 this evening. Two audible pops and a whiff of smoke later and it seems I've got a pretty blue paper-weight. I opened her up and it looks like Q1 and Q3 were what popped...they've actually split open...damned if I know what other damage may have been done.
I know a few other people have had similar accidents. Is there any point trying to salvage it? If so, does anyone have any pointers on where I should start?
Damn I hate making dumb-arse mistakes.
