Haha thanks for the encouragement and help guys.
Yes he has many magic smoke refill kits.
Umm I don't think I can contact zook, He hasn't been on since June...

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...

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.
