Re: barracutta legent burn from wrong polarity
Hi bogias and welcome to the forum. I have no personal experience with this board, and I do not have a schematic diagram so I am only guessing, but I would start by looking at the diodes, especially the one that is between your 2 power leads, ie the one that is in the top right of your picture. Sometimes these look good but may be internally burnt, and one so close could be a protector to stop damage in the event of reversing polarity, as you have done. I am guessing that you have a multimeter to check for continuity? Good luck and keep us posted...
....PS, a bit late now, but it's a good idea not to use the same colour wire for neg and pos and then twist them together, it's just a recipe for disaster (but you know that now)

Hi Bogias
The component burning is one 5V regulator,check all 220uf capacitors should be open circuit.As Costas said double check all diodes.You need to get both +5V and -5V working.
