Who fried their DNA 20D by connecting the battery in reverse?

[DrMA]

If you did it (by connecting the battery in reverse, or shorting it somehow), I'm really sorry and totally sympathize with your pain. However, all is not lost. Send me a PM if you still have your fried board, I have an idea.

I thought the board was protected against reverse polarity?

 

[DrMA]

To the best of my knowledge it's not protected against reverse polarity.

I don't have a fried board but am interested in what your idea may be....

My guess is to re-appropriate the screen

lol, just read the other thread 5 seconds ago.

I cannot confirm or deny this speculation.

Let me just make the point that it's a worthwhile, win-win proposition.

What's this about and what is going on here ?

Think the OP is thinking that the display could survive a fried board (caused by reverse polarity) and be removed and reused........

I just got my DNA20 and I haven't modded it yet. But I've been reading up and I will be very careful not to cause reverse polarity. And also noted to be careful when handling as to not accidently break the screen off.
