What does "backwards" mean here? Did you connect the power input wires to the PDB's dedicated 12-volt output with the wrong polarity? Or did you connect 12 volts to the output wires and plug the input wires into the router? Knowing a little about how the power converter works, I'm having a hard time imagining how any combination of wiring errors could result in 52 volts on it somewhere.
And how does the Digital Sidecar enter into this? It shouldn't have a connection to the power converter at all.
