Posted January 21, 2018 You could have killed it. I think the lack of unplugging the battery and discharging the power definitely does run the risk.... .... I'm afraid to ask... But did you wear protection? Like Anti-static straps or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be a good excuse to ask for the new improved, more recent model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
