    You can contact him. I'll also mention it when I see him.

    Interesting is, that it is seemingly always that part of the electronics responsile for playing the music which gives back the magic blue smoke to its Creator when connecting the supply wrong... I managed to de-smoke a Hasbro board by accidentally reversing the supply myself.

    Any ideas what makes that part of the circuitry more sensitive than the rest? And that on board so completely different?
    Just curious...

    It's a built in trial for newbies to be VERY careful when wiring boards. lol

    In any given piece of electronics, if something is going to release blue smoke, it's ALWAYS the most important/expensive part. You never see a cheap and easily replaced part blow out.
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

    I had already contacted him, but nothing yet
