Re: Jaguar Gate Driver Source

Aaron,
If you connected the power supply to the Jaguar incorrectly, the gate drivers are not the only thing that is damaged. The five volt regulator is the first place I would look followed by just about everything else. I would also take a look under the large electrolytic cap in the center. Those guys hate reverse voltage. If there is any sign of a puddle, it is gone too.
