Recharge ports

What size drill bit would I need for the jack in the store?

So Corbin wrote a wiring diagram for the recharge port and wrot this:

Sometimes grounding out against the body can cause issues, especially with red, red/orange and amber LEDs.

Now when I wired mine up, I made it kill the power once the jack is in. It woked fine for a while, but it stopped. When I took it apart, the resistor was fried (literally burnt) and so was the Hasbro board, which was blackened where it touched the resistor. Would me wiring it this way be the cause of this? I certainly don't want to repeat it.

Can you draw up a wireing diagram of what you did?
