We here at Truck Town have a history of killing Jaguars softly--no audible or visible damage. This one we found in a drawer attached to the main table in our electrical area back in the fall of 2011. It had masking tape with "BAD?" written on it on the bottom. We tried it, it was indeed "bad" (I think it just always output 0), and we put it back in the drawer, until now I suppose.
We also gave both sides of a Black Jag power from the PDB while working on our 2012 practice board, and when we noticed that Jaguar's status LED wasn't on, we followed both pairs of wires coming from it back to adjacent slots in the power distribution board. Nothing noticeable happened when we powered it on, but swapping it out with another and wiring it properly solved that.
