I plugged in other cameras to test my cables and they worked.

My heart then sank as i looked at the power cable i supplied to the camera it was my laptops 19v supply rather than the usual 12v i use.

So i reckon ive fried the camera. Is it salvageable?

my wife asked how much it cost - i had to lie and say just a couple of hundred bucks
Hi Ian have you tried to see if it is fried, I have been told they are pretty robust gear I had a mate drop his on his driveway and still worked.
