Re: cRIO smoke

I agree with the others here,
during inspection at BMR last year, one of our electricians (not me!) accidently hooked the battery leads backwards to the PDB putting voltage backwards through the whole system, Surprisingly, only the analog breakout fried! the cRio is stilll functioning like a charm, didnt even fry the cRio module. if the LED on the analog breakout is not lit, then its done for. check the IC on the top right hand corner, thats where most of them tend to fry!
