Hey guys, the board in my SFL Emag fried somehow....

I turned it on, it said low battery, so I charge it up. An hour later, I come back and plug the battery in; there was a burning smell and smoke started to come out of it.

So I obviously burned my board.

The question is, does AGD cover this? If not, what is the cost for a replacement board?

Thanks for your help guys.

Thanks. Would you happen to know if I have to send in my gun or not for that?

I've got a tournament tomorrow, so I'm thanking Tom and AGD that they put in manual mode just in case the electros break. Nice job! :)

Also, anyone know why the board decided to fry just from plugging the battery in?

Thanks again

Things like that can happen really easily, it only takes one weak transistor or chip that wasnt made perfectly and the sudden shock of voltage can make it go. I had the same probllem on my Zip drive, a external modem, scanner, and my freind angel board did it.
Im sure AGD will hook you up.

i would imagine they will at least want your board before sending you a new one, but youd have to speak with them

oh, they might want the whole gun just if by some chance it was something else that went wrong, and if you put a new board in, that one would fry too....

just my .02

Thanks for your help guys.
