So I think I messed up....
I had a long day out in the sun, and was tired while I was fiddling with my Elmod FusionX.
Stupidly, I had power connected to the board (with the correct fuse set up they use) and without thinking I plugged in a speaker into the slot.
The thing gave some sparks and I had a heart attack, I ripped out the battery straight away.
I looked it over, there doesn't seem to be any obvious signs of damage. It doesn't smell funny... however whenever I try to plug power back into the board the blue status LED doesn't come on and it no longer connects to my PC.
Have I royally screwed up and lost a lot of money here or is this something that can be repaired?
I've already sent an email to Elmod...
Have I just ruined my board? *solved*

Thomas will have to be the final arbiter, but I'd suggest that you won't like the size of the repair bill if he has to replace half of the parts.
Probably time to save up for a new one...

If it is possible - and economically viable - Elmod will repair the electronics.
To do this, the electronics must be sent to elmod for testing.
Elmod will then tell you whether it is worth it and what it will cost.

Good news!
Turns out it was just the 15A fuse that blew, I replaced it and it seems to be working fine again!
