Default LOL.... I just fried 3 of my brianGT LM4780 boards

ZAAAAP!!!

fried

I have no idea what happened... but I'm glad I only hooked them up one at a time

everything's perfect... so with the last 5 boards I have I'm going to be way more careful

only one question...

the AC1 with a line over it is neutral right??? and the AC1 without a line is the hot wire correct

lol jesus can't believe it fried.... it only did this once I hooked the input and outputs up though

I'm pretty sure just the chips are shot so I can simply salvage the other comps if I so desire

I hope you used resistors on the output for the test?
You can kill a pair of speakers.
Are you sure you connected the PSU wires in the right way? You didn't reverse the positive with the negative rail?

I don't think so...

I didn't hook up speakers... never even got to that point

I'm pretty sure I did

but that's why I asked... what is the AC1 with line over it mean on the rectifier board.... the AC1 without it???? and the AC2 etc

as far as from the wall to the xfrmer it's right now with hot and cold wires

so.... yea I"m pretty damn sure that far is right

what would cause the chip casing to explode?

on 2 chips... but no other components do anything or even smoke?

I don't think it matters which way you connect the secondary wires to the rectifier boards.

You tried building this without a MM

Maybe cheap MM (you can get them now below $10) would be nice addition to the kits?
