With all the talk of the M1 battery packs I got some camcorder batteries =
(Energizer 6V 1800mAh) out and decided to see how they would do as a =
power source.

Then I screwed up.

I wasn't careful enough and I mixed up the + and - leads from the =
battery to the board.  Now even when I use the wall power source nothing =
happens.  I'm sure I blew something.

What I would like to know is, what are the main parts that would blow?  =
Did I just destroy the LCD?  The back light?  Or did I only take out a =
couple of surface mount resisters?  Where is the most likely place to =
look?  Is there a schematic that I can find to help a friend of mine =
(who has much more experience, an EE degree, and knows the difference =
between + and -) diagnose problem?

I bought the unit used a few weeks ago after I got on the list, so I'm =
preaty sure there isn't much that tekgear can do for me.=20

I'm preaty mad at myself right now..
Kids, don't do this at home!
