So, 100% my fault, I loaded a new file on the Microsquirt today, to change from MAP to TPS based load, and "forgot" to set the coil settings to Going High (Inverted) :oops:

This are pics of the aftermath:

If I order 2 more VB921, and install them back everything will be fine, or there is probably more damage done by the heat?
Is anyone selling just the Microsquirt board (with or without the AMP connector)? or a Microsquirt without the loom?

Awright...

Mine looks exactly like this. I have a stash of VB921's, so replacement is not a problem; my question is, what points would be the best to connect to, given the fact that the original locations are pretty much fried?...The center pins are easy since they have a huge trace going to them, but the other two can be a problem. Also, would it be a good idea to fuse VB921's while I'm at it?
