And also ideas on why the PDP functions partly?
I have not opened a PDP, but I presume the main part of the PDP is a bus - all hard wired (hard wire does not care about polarity). The part of the PDP that seems fried is all the electronic monitoring parts.

If you are done with competitions, then if the robot works, the robot works. If you are going to Worlds, then swap out the PDP for a good one. They will check that the PDP CAN bus is working (version number check).
