Did I kill my A600?

the red stripe "usually" goes on the same side as the power connector.

well that would be an easy mistake then!

i was just thinking that. to my mind it's badly designed and cheap. don't give up though. have you tried the a600 on it's own? i've seem them survive worse stuff. after all i own some and they are still working!!! :lol:

[monami]

did you see any smoke or smell anything burn. or a component type smell at any point? or is there any burn marks?

i bought a pc case at christmas 2001 for a downstairs computer . i was just telling my mother how great usb was and how you can just plug stuff in and out while it's on and boldly demoing it to her when i plugged a usb psx joypad adaptor in it and could smell burning. the joypad would no longer work...
inside 2 resistors had burnt off you could see the burn marks. it ruined xmas i know how that feels! i think the usb port had been wired incorrectly. best to avoid cheap stuff from china... :roll:

they should be made so you can't plug them in the wrong way.

i didn't realise you are in oz. that makes it worse. i prefer a1200 to a600. although it's cute i never use mine. is it sentimental to you? i'd go for the a1200. unless you already have one of course.

aha! we were all rooting for you.
