Go to Post When's the last time you called up FIRST headquarters just to say thanks? Or saw a volunteer at a regional and said, 'Hey, you're doing a really great job here. Thank you for everything you're doing in your spare time.' - Amanda Morrison [more]

Re: Have you burned your reciver?

In many dc devices, there is a diode placed across the power supply input, which is supposed to cause a short and blow a fuse if you reverse polarity. If you reversed polarity and had too high of a breaker, it may have just burned open the pcboard trace and possibly left the diode shorted as well. You may be able to remove or replace the diode, fix the trace, and be good as new.
