Thanks, but I really do not think this is the case because like I said
previously it powers up still... But I am still going to remove and test it who
knows maybe I will get lucky!
Thanks again,

Don't overlook the possibility that the Trition was protected from reverse
polarity by a reverse diode across the 12 volt supply connection. If this is
the case, the diode would most likely now be shorted and that is al that is
wrong.
