I made a mistake last night with my VTR. It was pretty late, and on my way to make an espresso, I had this compulsion to take the top plate off the VTR so I could sand the area again, the part near the two screws.. with some ultra fine sandpaper. Don't know why I do this mad sh1t late at night, but anyway I proceed to remove the four screws. Lift the 'cap' off when I start to smell that fried chip smell, and simultaneously realize that I had neglected to remove the friggin battery first. sigh....

Had another look at what I could see of the circuit boards just now, and I can't see any physical damage. But the VTR is refusing to switch on. I guess the lesson here for me is "Don't listen to that voice in your head after 12pm.
 
Got any pics of the inside?

@Rowan Francis or @johan will be best people to speak to. Once the smoke inside the chips escapes it can be difficult to get it working again, unless you get new chips with smoke inside.

Luckily it seems you will soon have a Reo, at which point your VTR will not be missed
 
oh dear , that does not sound good ..
 
@Spyker @devdev I have a few pics, but the way the boards are installed, it's kinda impossible to get a good look without taking them apart. Maybe someone with some electronic abilities can have a go.
 
Awh man, that's horrible :( sorry dude!!!
