Exclamation Driver Station Magic Smoke

my team wired an analog input wrong to the drivers station and the screen was going berserk. They pulled out the power and saw the magic smoke. They looked at their mistake and saw that the potentiometer was wired wrong. They are wondering if the analog input will still work and how to test it. Also we would like to know if the analgo input can be replaced without having to get a whole new driver station.
Has anyone heard or have had this problem before?

Re: Driver Station Magic Smoke

1) Does the DS still work otherwise?
2) How was it wired incorrectly?
3) Wire one correctly and see if it works.
4) Where was the smoke from?
5) What do you mean that the screen went berserk?
6) Did you ground the case?
