Reverse Polarity Damage

Hey Guys! I have an ssd1306 oled display, I accidentally connected them the wrong way and the display got too hot and I could smell something burning. Is there any problem?

No problem if you have a garbage can close.
:cry:

Hi
Every electronic component has a smoke inside that makes it work.
If you smell burning, it is because the smoke came out.
And if the smoke came out, it no longer works.

We've all made similar mistakes! Buy two replacements, in case you make another mistake.
