Db9 port

if the db9 serial port is fried, shouldn't the whole camera stop working?
i am asking this when i tried to calibrate the camera using labview, the serial port did not even come up on the aplication. however i was able to uploadd kevin's camera code to the rc. even though the camera did not move.

also i accenditly attached the ttl adapter to the rc wrong(backwards) and one fo the pins was touching one of the relay pins, the adapter got realy hot.
i quicly turnedoff the rc and removed it. could that have fried the ttl adapter and that is why when i upload kevin's code to the rc the camera does not move or sends data to the terminal window?
