Fried IC's

Save your self a lot of grief and simply change them out, You DID use sockets didn't you?.
The parts are common and you should have Extra's... You did buy a spare or two... Just in case...
You're not the first to make that mistake. First fix your power connector by changing it to a polarized type of plug or likely you'll do it again.
You have just joined Murphy's club... Oh I'll NEVER make that 'mistake'...
So I really don't have to take precautions to prevent damage in the case that I DO make that mistake.
I stopped By to see Murphy once and met his Widow instead. She said to me yes and there he lies, poor old sod... Ever the Optimist, Even when he Knew better.
