So off to the park.
1. Setup scope
2. Connect battery the wrong way (reverse polarity)
3. Bang
4. Go home as my mount (AZEQ6-GT) is fried 
So until a new motherboard comes i will only be able to admire my new purchase. I have setup 1,000's of times and this was the first time I have made this mistake.
Oh well ...... |
The only upside.... Motherboards arent expensive and they're easily installed, I've practice in this craft.
