Re: Help! I think we fried our OI!

We did the same thing with our OI two days ago. Now only the Power On LED lights up when we plug in power. This is without anything else plugged into the OI. I believe the mistake we made was wiring the connector backwards, so when we flipped the disable switch, we shorted pins 1 and 4 instead of pins 5 and 8. 1 and 4 are not labeled on the pinout, and IFI says not to connect anything to them, so it kind of makes sense why it doesn't work.

I called IFI on Friday, they said the processor was fried, and it would be $120 to repair it, so we sent it off on Friday. Luckily we still have last year's OI to practice with until we get it repaired.
