Hey all,
Nice to be finally part of the AXE family but it's been a bumpy ride so far unfortunately. As mentioned in the title, i've stupidly managed to place the USB cable from my computer into the MCF-101 port of my AXE 2. The cable was connected only for about 5 seconds, but it was long enough for the unit to crap itself and start smoking. I'm assuming that the port is fried at the very least, and i'm not sure bout the motherboard. So in all, within 4 hours of owning the unit, i've managed to turn it into a $2700 trout smoker and i'm close to putting my head through the wall. I know a few people have done a similar thing so i'm not totally alone in my stupidity. From my understanding, a new replacement motherboard is likely to be around $1600 from what i've read online? cheers
