Yo,
Got a controller board from a IR cam. Cam had
liquid & fire damage also the digital video out female connector was roasted so internally
disconnected the ribbon flex cable but inside it was looking all fine and board had conformal coating all over the parts.
So I tried to inject power with my bench power supply here at work (Yes I tried the correct voltage according to the datasheet). Turn out this bench power supply is crooked as f*ck .. garbage...
Idk what happend but I set the current limit and voltage, nothing happend, so turned it up a little more and suddenly I hear some relay clicking and poof magic smoke released..
My guess is that it is a cap (47 mike, 20 volt), on the input regulation board, hopefully the board still works or I'll be kinda mad at myself
Because just before the dang thing blew up I saw some RS232 output in my terminal, so the brainbox was working ! (Made in Germany
)
What ya guys think it is? I might be lucky or not.
