Hmm, released magic smoke from my salvaged Bose sounddock, attempting to hardwire it (the connector no longer working). I suspect I swapped polarity on the power supply. 😬 (although, the thing is terribly non-maintainable, two *TIGHT* ribbon connections, i.e. move the board and it pulls the ribbon out... they are not designed for much movement) Probably better off buying a DIY amp kit and reusing the speakers or building one than attempting to hack into the thing. (because, do not need any iPod connectivity et al). #magicsmoke

Hmm, more magic smoke release. Not doing great with the electronics projects lol. The cheapo $2 amplifier board does not accept 8 to 12V as marked on the board, as 12V and turning the volume up resulted in the IC popping, ha ha. #magicsmoke #electronics
