Help! I think we fried our OI!

Today we decided to finally wire our disable/ autonomous switch. We followed the schematic found here:

http://www.ifirobotics.com/docs/comp...guide-reva.pdf

(which is where other posts had led us) and when we plugged the newly made switches in, our OI stopped working. Now, only the green power light turns on when we plug it in. I had taped all the other wires on the 15-pin cable so they would not touch, so that can't be the reason our OI fried.

Also, I noticed after our OI stopped working that the schematic was from 2005, so that could be a possible issue.

Has this happened to anyone else? Can anything be done? Are we doomed? We're a new team (but not a rookie) so we don't have last year's OI, but we do have the 2006 OI. Could we use that if our OI is completely beyond repair?

Hopefully something can be done! Thanks for your help.
